How to convert between different metric lengths?
Here are some common units of length in the metric system and their conversions:
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeter (cm)
1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit, we multiply. For example, to convert 10 kilometer to meters, multiply by 1,000: 10 kilometer = 10 × 1,000 meters = 10,000 meters.
To convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit, we divide. For example, to convert 1,000 centimeters to meters, divide by 100: 1,000 centimeters = 1,000 ÷ 100 meters = 10 meters.
Have a look at this video if you need to review how to convert between the metric lengths.
