gram-a unit of mass
meter-a unit of length
liter-a unit of volume
kilo-a prefix meaning 100
centi-a prefix meaning 1/100
milli-a prefix meaning 1/1000
percent error=[(|accepted value-your value|)/accepted value]x100%

Okay, a gram, a meter and a liter all different types of measurement. (Gram being weight or mass, meter being length and liter being volume) Kilo-, centi- and milli- are prefixes to these measurements describing the size of the thing in question, a kilo being 100, a centi beign .01 and milli being .001. Percent error is exactly what it says, the percent that a measuring device could get wrong based on what it is designed to measure. the smaller the measuring system, the easier it is to get an exact measurement. (you wouldn't want to measure a millimeter with a meterstick)

Gram is weight (mass? One of those.)
Meter is length
Liter is volume (usually liquid, but you could use, say, gas as well)
Kilo is a prefix meaning "1000-" whatevers.
Centi-"1/100"
Milli-"1/1000"
Those are all in the metric system. So, say, a centimeter would be 1/100 of a meter. A meter would be 100 centimeters. A kilogram would be 1000 grams (or 2.2 pounds.)
Percent error--huh? Do you mean "margin of error"? That would be how accurate your measurement is within a certain percentage, like, 3 percent more or less than your number. Percent error--I dunno.

gram= unit of mass
meter= unit of length
kilo= prefix meaning 100 (Kilogram, kilometer, etc.)
centi= prefix meaning 1/100 (centigram, centimeter, etc.)
milli= prefix meaning 1/1000 (milligram, millimeter, etc.)
liter= unit of volume valuex100%
percent error=your value/accepted

grams is used in measuring mass
meters is used in measuring length
liters is used in measuring volume
kilo-of one unit = 10^3 of that unit
centi- of one unit = 10^-2 of unit
milli- of one unit = 10^-3 of unit
percent is not a unit

grams mass
meters length
liters volume
kilo means 1000
centi means 100th
milli means 1000 th
percent error is error*100/measurement

Grams -weight
Meters - distance
liters - liquid volume
kilo - means 1000 of whatever, eg. kilometer = 1000 meters, kilogram = 1000 grams
centi - means 100 of whatever, same as above
