Say for instance you want to convert 5 meters to millimeters.Just put 5 in the column where it says meter. Then, going from left to right, add zeros until you get to millimeter. The table below illustrates this. 
5 meters = 5,000 millimeters or 5 m = 5000 mm Now, convert 4 dekameters to decimeters. Just put 4 in dekameter and add zeros until you get to decimeter. 
4 dam = 400 dm Convert 8 cm to meter. Put 8 in cm. Add 0 until, you get to meter.This time, you will go to the left because meter is on the left side of centimeter. When you go to the left, use a decimal point. 
8 cm = 0.08 m What if the number is higher or equal to 10? Fir example, convert 56 meter to millimeter. Here, just make sure you put 6 (the unit place) in meter!
