THE METRIC SYSTEM AND EQUIVALENTS
LINEAR MEASURE
SQUARE MEASURE
1 Centimeter = 10 Millimeters = 0.01 Meter = 0.3937 Inch
1 Sq Centimeter = 100 Sq Millimeters = 0.155 Sq Inch
1 Decimeter = 10 Centimeters = 3.94 Inches
1 Sq Decimeter = 100 Sq Centimeters = 15.5 Sq Inches
1 Meter = 10 Decimeters = 100 Centimeters
1 Sq Meter (Centare) = 10 Sq Decimeters
= 1000 Millimeters = 39.37 Inches
= 10,000 Sq Centimeters = 10.764 Sq Feet
1 Dekameter = 10 Meters = 32.8 Feet
1 Sq Dekameter (Are) = 100 Sq Meters = 1,076.4 Sq Feet
1 Hectometer = 10 Dekameters = 328.08 Feet
1 Sq Hectometer (Hectare) = 100 Sq Dekameters
1 Kilometer = 10 Hectometers = 1000 Meters
= 2.471 Acres
= 0.621 Mile = 3,280.8 Feet
1 Sq Kilometer = 100 Sq Hectometers
Millimeters = Inches times 25.4
= 1,000,000 Sq Meters = 0.386 Sq Mile
Inches = Millimeters divided by 25.4
CUBIC MEASURE
WEIGHTS
1 Cu Centimeter = 1000 Cu Millimeters = 0.061 Cu Inches
1 Centigram = 10 Milligrams = 0.154 Grain
1 Cu Decimeter = 1000 Cu Centimeters = 61.02 Cu Inches
1 Decigram = 10 Centigrams = 1.543 Grains
1 Cu Meter = 1000 Cu Decimeters
1 Gram = 0.001 Kilogram = 10 Decigrams
= 1,000,000 Cu Centimeters = 35.31 Cu Feet
= 1000 Milligrams = 0.035 Ounce
1 Dekagram = 10 Grams = 0.353 Ounce
TEMPERATURE
1 Hectogram = 10 Dekagrams = 3.527 Ounces
1 Kilogram = 10 Hectograms = 1000 Grams = 2.205 Pounds

1 Liter = 10 Deciliters = 1000 Millimeters = 33.82 Fluid Ounces
1 Dekaliter = 10 Liters = 2.64 Gallons
1 Hectoliter = 10 Dekaliters = 26.42 Gallons
1 Kiloliter = 10 Hectoliters = 264.18 Gallons
