just remember this SENTENCE:
K ing ------- kilometre l when you're
H enry ------- hectare l converting
D ied l downwards
M iserable ------- metres v you multiply
D isease ------- decimetre l example:
C aused ------- centimetre l 5m=_cm
M easles ------- millimetre v 5x100= 500cm
when you convert upwards, you divide: 500cm=__m
500 divided by 100 = 5m
every ..uhmm... letter... represents 10...
i hope this helps you.. and i hope you get my explanation... it's so much easier when i'm explaining it to you verbally...

1 metre ("m") = 100 centimetres ("cm")
In order to convert m to cm, you multiply the variable of the metre by 100 to get into cm.
In your example, 5m = 500cm (5 *100)

multiply by 100
the "cent" in centimeters means 1/100 (like cents and dollars in the US)
