Solve it

Sample Problem One Convert 500 decimeters (dm) into kilometers (km). Step 1: Write out the SI prefixes. decimeters K h da BASE d C m kilometers Step 2: Find the prefix given in the problem and circle it (we need to change 500 decimeters (dm), so the given prefix would be "d"). K h da BASE d m Step 3: Move across the chart to the new prefix (we are trying to find kilometers, so the new prefix would be"k" ) K h da BASE d
