i'm in chemistry and i have some HW problems that i REALLY need help on! how do i....
convert 5600 dm to m.
convert 245 ms to s.
please help me if you can..i've been trying to figure this out for over an hour looking at a stupid chart i cant understand! :,-(

did you mean dm or cm?
If dm, then divide by 10 to get m or divide by 100 if cm
there are 1000 ms in a s
therefore 245 ms = .245 s

Ok so basically you have to figure out how many ms are in 1 s and then multiply the ms times that number. Same thing with the dm. Find out how many dm's are in one m and times that by 56000 or divide.
I you still need help you can email me what it sais on the chart and ill help you out.

On the first one, since you have a lower-case d, I'll assume it is decimeters, which is 1/10 (not Decameters which is 10x), so to convert, you divide by 10 (or move the decimal to the left one place.
For the second one, the lower-case m is usually milli or 1/1000. So to convert, divide by 1000 (or move the decimal to the left 3 places).

5600 dm if it is decimetre will be 560 m
5600 dm if it is decametre will be 56000m
245ms will be (245*60) = 14,700s
to convert decimeter to metre divide by 10
to conver decametre to metre multiply by 10
minutes to seconds multiply by 60
following your chart if you have to go down multiply and if you have to go up divide
hope this helps
best luck in test

kgdmdcm, device for converting, i geuss dm would be deca meters so u'd go back one space to meters, and also back one decimal point 5600.
56000. So i think 56000 meters, little device works for all metric measurement, learned it in own science class so should be pretty reliable

1. 560 m
2..245 s if its miliseconds

to get from a big number to a small number multiply down on the chart, and to go from a small number to a big number you divide up.

5600x10^-3
245x106-3
