Symbols
identify prefix
and base or derived unit
OR everyday unit of measure
together. Simply
place the prefix in front of the base
or derived unit like mm
(millimeter),
cm (centimeter), km
(kilometer) or mg (milligram),
kg (kilogram) and mL
(milliliter).
The size or quantity is indicated by the first letter
or
prefix symbol
and the second letter or symbol
identifies the
base or derived unit.

We easily identify the
prefix centi when we think of 100 cents in the Unit
dollar. We could even refer to it as a "centidollar"
and you come pretty close to doing that anyway by calling it 1
cent. There are exactly 100 cents in a dollar just like
100 cm (centimeters) in a meter. Got it? It just gets easier.

Use prefixes
in front of the base
or derived unit or unit of measure
OR everyday unit of measure
to make the Quantity, Size or Value

1 one hundredth (0.01)
even smaller by
1 one thousandth (0.001)
OR bigger by
1000 times as much
