🔹 Metric Prefixes (for reference):

| Prefix | Symbol | Value |
|--------|--------|-------|
| kilo- | k | 1,000 |
| hecto- | h | 100 |
| deca- | da | 10 |
| base | | 1 |
| deci- | d | 0.1 |
| centi- | c | 0.01 |
| milli- | m | 0.001 |

Each step up or down the scale is a factor of 10.

✔ Solutions:

#### 1a. 32 dg = ________ g
- dg → g: divide by 10 (since 1 g = 10 dg)
- $ 32 \div 10 = 3.2 $
- ✔ 3.2 g

#### 1b. 8 g = ________ cg
- g → cg: multiply by 100 (since 1 g = 100 cg)
- $ 8 \times 100 = 800 $
- ✔ 800 cg

---

#### 2a. 59 g = ________ dag
- g → dag: divide by 10 (1 dag = 10 g)
- $ 59 \div 10 = 5.9 $
- ✔ 5.9 dag

#### 2b. 1 hg = ________ dg
- hg → dg: 1 hg = 100 g, 1 g = 10 dg → 1 hg = 100 × 10 = 1,000 dg
- ✔ 1,000 dg

---

#### 3a. 12 hm = ________ km
- hm → km: divide by 10 (1 km = 10 hm)
- $ 12 \div 10 = 1.2 $
- ✔ 1.2 km

#### 3b. 9 km = ________ dam
- km → dam: 1 km = 1,000 m, 1 dam = 10 m → so 1 km = 100 dam
- $ 9 \times 100 = 900 $
- ✔ 900 dam

---

#### 4a. 7.3 kg = ________ dag
- kg → dag: 1 kg = 1,000 g, 1 dag = 10 g → so 1 kg = 100 dag
- $ 7.3 \times 100 = 730 $
- ✔ 730 dag

#### 4b. 1,600 mg = ________ g
- mg → g: divide by 1,000
- $ 1,600 \div 1,000 = 1.6 $
- ✔ 1.6 g

---

#### 5a. 5 dm = ________ mm
- dm → mm: 1 dm = 10 cm = 100 mm → so 1 dm = 100 mm
- $ 5 \times 100 = 500 $
- ✔ 500 mm

#### 5b. 480 m = ________ hm
- m → hm: divide by 100 (1 hm = 100 m)
- $ 480 \div 100 = 4.8 $
- ✔ 4.8 hm

---

#### 6a. 9.8 cm = ________ mm
- cm → mm: multiply by 10 (1 cm = 10 mm)
- $ 9.8 \times 10 = 98 $
- ✔ 98 mm

#### 6b. 7 hl = ________ dl
- hl → dl: 1 hl = 100 L, 1 L = 10 dl → so 1 hl = 1,000 dl
- $ 7 \times 1,000 = 7,000 $
- ✔ 7,000 dl

---

#### 7a. 10 cg = ________ dg
- cg → dg: divide by 10 (1 dg = 10 cg)
- $ 10 \div 10 = 1 $
- ✔ 1 dg

#### 7b. 9 dam = ________ m
- dam → m: multiply by 10 (1 dam = 10 m)
- $ 9 \times 10 = 90 $
- ✔ 90 m

---

#### 8a. 6 hl = ________ L
- hl → L: 1 hl = 100 L
- $ 6 \times 100 = 600 $
- ✔ 600 L

#### 8b. 5.4 m = ________ cm
- m → cm: multiply by 100
- $ 5.4 \times 100 = 540 $
- ✔ 540 cm

---

#### 9a. 7.6 kl = ________ hl
- kl → hl: 1 kl = 1,000 L, 1 hl = 100 L → so 1 kl = 10 hl
- $ 7.6 \times 10 = 76 $
- ✔ 76 hl

#### 9b. 4.9 dag = ________ dg
- dag → dg: 1 dag = 10 g, 1 g = 10 dg → so 1 dag = 100 dg
- $ 4.9 \times 100 = 490 $
- ✔ 490 dg

---

#### 10a. 10 hl = ________ dl
- hl → dl: 1 hl = 100 L, 1 L = 10 dl → 1 hl = 1,000 dl
- $ 10 \times 1,000 = 10,000 $
- ✔ 10,000 dl

#### 10b. 1,000 cm = ________ dam
- cm → dam:
- 1 cm = 0.01 m
- 1,000 cm = 10 m
- 1 dam = 10 m → so 10 m = 1 dam
- ✔ 1 dam
