  2. Measurement in Science To convert between units of the Metric System it is as easy as moving the decimal. 325 cm = ?mm The prefix milli- is one place to the right, so you will add one zero to the number 1 for the top of the fraction. Which unit in the fraction is furthest to the left? It gets a value of 1 in the fraction. Start with what you are given, and write an equation: Draw a multiplication sign and fraction bar: Put the units to get rid of in the bottom of the fraction: And the desired units on top: How do you solve the equation? 10 mm 325 cm = 3,250 mm X _________________ 1 cm K H Da B d c m
