Question

Write the conversion factor for the metric prefixes kilo and hecto.
Write the conversion factor for the metric prefixes deca and centi.
write the conversion factor for the metric prefixes deci and milli.
write the conversion factor for the metric prefixes kilo and centi.

Answer 1

Here are the conversion factors for the specified metric prefixes:

1. **Kilo (k)** and **Hecto (h)**:
- 1 kilounit (k) = 10 hectounits (h)
- Conversion factor: \( 1 \text{ k} = 10 \text{ h} \)

2. **Deca (da)** and **Centi (c)**:
- 1 decaunit (da) = 100 centiunits (c)
- Conversion factor: \( 1 \text{ da} = 100 \text{ c} \)

3. **Deci (d)** and **Milli (m)**:
- 1 deciunit (d) = 1,000 milliunits (m)
- Conversion factor: \( 1 \text{ d} = 1,000 \text{ m} \)

4. **Kilo (k)** and **Centi (c)**:
- 1 kilounit (k) = 100,000 centiunits (c)
- Conversion factor: \( 1 \text{ k} = 100,000 \text{ c} \)

These conversion factors help relate different metric prefixes and their respective quantities.
