  3. Rules for Using the Number Line 1. Find the pre-fix of the unit that is given in the problem. Locate this on the number line. This is the first letter in the unit. T G M k h da d c m μ n p 3 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 3 3 Example: 567.3 km = _____ cm

  4. 2. Find the pre-fix that of the conversion you want to find on the number line. T G M k h da d c m μ n p 3 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 3 3 Example: 567.3 km = _____ cm

  5. 3. Count the spaces using the numbers between the two pre-fixes. T G M k h da d c m μ n p 3 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 3 3 Example: 567.3 km = _____ cm Number of Spaces = ____

  6. 4. Move the decimal point in the same direction as you are going on the number line. Example: 567.3 km = _____ cm 567.3

  7. Base Unit (m,L,g) T G M k h da d c m μ n p 3 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 3 3 a. 75 cm = _____ m b. 1253 mL = _____ kL c. 5 ng = _____ cg d. 34 Tm = _____ hm
