Convenient prefix

Is that academic or what?
BUT
For most everyday experience useful
prefixes are
milli 1 one thousandth (0.001)
from the unit of measure.
centi 1 one hundredth (0.01)
from the unit of measure.
kilo 1000

DID
YOU KNOW? ( Video)
that you can divide 1 meter
by exactly 10 equal parts
(10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm)...
then make
a cube (1 000 cmณ) of it to fill with water...
and you will find that it contains
exactly 1 L (1 litre)
(1 000 mL)
of water...
and is the mass of exactly 1
kg (1 kilogram) (1 000 g).
ALL SIMPLY RELATED IN 10!
