Nica, you NEED to learn the prefixes in metric system.
centi = 1/100, like one cent is 1/100 of a dollar.
milli = 1/1000
kilo = 1000. kilo-dollar, kilobyte, kilowatt. All equal one thousand of the base unit (dollar, byte, watts. etc)
deci is not used to often. but just remeber deci = 1/10 , and sounds kinda like "dime" which equals 1/10 of a dollar.
I really think you can do these. Good Luck
------------------------------
Look at the last one again. If the d is a capital "Dm", then it is a Dekameter which = 10 meters, like decade = 10 years.
if it is a lowercase d in "dm" then it is a "decimeter" which is 1/10 of a meter. SO be careful.

Ok I will help you.
1m = 1000mm or 10dm or 100cm or 1000mm Mili tells 1000 1mm is 1/1000 of a meter.
1dm= 100mm or 0.10 meter or 1/10 of a meter
1cm =10mm or 0.010 meter
1mm = 0,001 meter does it make you confuse? No it does not.
dm means 1/10 of a meter.. deci=ten 1/10 of a meter
and centi means 1/100 of a meter.
2,75 meter = you have 2 meter and 0,75 meter here dont you?
well that is 275 cm all together.
I think I have to make it in another way.
2,75 m = 275cm you have here 2m 7dm and 5cm
8,3m = 830cm you have here 8m and 3dm. (3dm=30cm)
41,9cm=419mm here you have 4dm and 1cm and 9mm
6,25cm=62,5mm here you have just 6cm and 2mm, but the next digit, well thats a half of a mm, 0,5mm the answer is 62,5mm.
1,875km =1875meter as there are 1000m on a kilometer.
27,5m is as it tells 2,75m
0,4m=40cm remeber that there are 10dm on a meter and 100cm on a meter..
3,666m=36,66dm or 366,6cm or 3666mm.
Remember that 1km = 1000m
1m is divide into 10dm Deci means 10th of something
1m is divided into 100cm Centi means 100 of something
1m is divided into 1000mm Mili means 1000 of something
I would like to explain it better but it is difficult to do it from here.
I might be 10000 miles away.

8.3 m= 830 cm
41.9 cm =419 mm
6.25cm=62.5mm
1.875 km=1875 m
27.5 m = 27.5 m
0.4 m=40 cm
3.666 m =0.3666 dm

there are 100 centimeters in a meter 1,2,and, 7
there are 1000 millimeters in a meter, thus 10 in a centimeter 3,4
there are a thousand meters in a kilometer.
(there are 10 meters in a decimeter) I'm not sure about that but the rest I am and it will help you to solve all but one
