2. length of Olympic
pool
3. distance from
Manila to Cavite
4. thickness of book
5. height of flagpole
km hm dam m dm cm mm
To convert hectometer to decimeter, count the spaces from hm
to dm, and move the decimal point in the same direction as
many spaces as indicated in the diagram.
Example:
1. 5.4321 hm = 5432.1 dm
2. 0.985 km = 985 m

Similarly, move 5 spaces to the left or 5 decimal places to the


left to convert centimeter to kilometer. The number of
spaces corresponds to the powers of ten needed to convert one
unit to another.
Convert the following using the metric converter.
1. 7 m to dam
2. 9 km to m
3. 752 cm to mm
4. 57.3
km
m tohmmm dam m dm cm mm

5. 99 mm to km
6. 42.17 m to km
7. 8456 mm to m
8. 426 cm to mm
