    In the metric system, each of the common kinds of measure - - length, weight, capacity - - has one basic unit of measure. To measure smaller amounts, divide the basic unit into parts of ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on. To measure larger amounts, multiply the basic unit by ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on.

    Length:

    1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)

    1 centimeter (cm) =.01 meter (m)

    1 millimeter (mm) =.001 meter (m)

    Weight:

    1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)

    1 milligram (mg) =.001 gram (g)

    Capacity:

    1 milliliter =.001 liter (l)
