Deka- means 10; a dekameter is 10 meters. Hecto- means 100; a hectometer is 100 meters. Kilo- means 1,000; a kilometer is 1,000 meters.
Decametre. A decametre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures) or dekameter (American spelling), symbol dam (sometimes unofficially Dm or dkm), is a unit of length in the metric system equal to ten metres; it is very rarely used.
Definition: Decimeter
A decimetre (US: decimeter; symbol: dm) is a measurement of length, measuring 10 centimetres or one-tenth of a metre.A decametre or dekametre is a very rarely used unit of length in the metric system, equal to ten metres, the SI base unit of length. It can be written in scientific notation as 1 E+1 m, meaning 10 × 1 m.
A decametre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures) or dekameter (American spelling), symbol dam (sometimes unofficially Dm or dkm), is a unit of length in the metric system equal to ten metres; it is very rarely used.
Kilometers (km) are larger than centimeters (cm), so you expect there to be less than one km in a cm. Cm is 10 times smaller than a dm; a dm is 10 times smaller than a m, etc. Since you are going from a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide.
1 meter (m) = 10 decimeter (dm). Meter (m) is a unit of Length used in Metric system. Decimeter (dm) is a unit of Length used in Metric system.
a decimeter is 100 times bigger than a mm. a mm is 100 times smaller than a dm. So 1 dm = 100 mm. 10 dm = 1000 mm (which incidentally is one meter!).
