Question 1
The metric system prefixes (using "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk" mnemonic) are Kilo, Hecto, Deca, Base (meter/gram/liter), Deci, Centi, Milli. So the order from largest to smallest (or vice versa, depending on direction) is Kilo, Hecto, Deca, Base, Deci, Centi, Milli.
Step1: Recall metric prefix mnemonic
Using "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk", the prefixes are Kilo (k), Hecto (h), Deca (da), Base (unit), Deci (d), Centi (c), Milli (m).
We know that 1 centigram (cg) = 10 milligrams (mg). So to convert milligrams to centigrams, we divide by 10.
Step1: Identify conversion factor
1 cg = 10 mg, so 1 mg = $\frac{1}{10}$ cg = 0.1 cg? Wait, no: Wait, 1 mg is 0.1 cg? Wait, no: Wait, 1 cg = 10 mg, so 1 mg = 1/10 cg = 0.1 cg? Wait, no, wait: 1 centigram is 10 milligrams. So 1 milligram is 1/10 centigram. So 1 mg = 0.1 cg? Wait, no, wait: Let's check units. 1 cg = 10 mg, so to convert mg to cg, divide by 10. So 1 mg ÷ 10 = 0.1 cg? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, 1 gram = 10 decigrams = 100 centigrams = 1000 milligrams. So 1 centigram = 10 milligrams. So 1 milligram = 0.1 centigrams. Yes. So 1 mg = 0.1 cg.
Step1: Conversion factor: 1 cg = 10 mg
So 1 mg = $\frac{1}{10}$ cg = 0.1 cg.
The metric system: 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m). So the number of meters in 1 kilometer is 1000.
Step1: Recall km to m conversion
1 km = 1000 m.
