1 centiliter = 10 milliliters = .34 fl. ounce
1 decimeter = 10 centimeters = 3.94 inches
1 deciliter = 10 centiliters = 3.38 fl. ounces
1 meter =10 decimeters = 39.37 inches
1 liter =10 deciliters = 33.81 fl. ounces
1 dekameter =10 meters = 32.8 feet
1 dekaliter =10 liters = 2.64 gallons
1 hectometer =10 decameters = 328.08 feet
1 hectoliter = 10 dekaliters = 26.42 gallons
I kilometer =10 hectometers = 3,280.8 feet
1 kiloliter =10 hectoliters = 264.18 gallons
Weights
Square Measure
1 centigram = 10 milligrams = .15 grain
1 sq. centimeter = 100 sq. millimeters = .155 sq. inch
1 decigram = 10 centigrams = 1.54 grains
1 sq. decimeter = 100 sq. centimeters =15.5 sq. inches
1 gram = 10 decigrams = .035 ounce
1 sq. meter (centare) = 100 sq. decimeters = 10.76 sq.
feet
1 dekagram = 10 grams = .35 ounce
1 sq. dekameter (are) =100 sq. meters = 1,076.4 sq. feet
1 hectogram = 10 dekagrams = 3.52 ounces
1 sq. hectometer (hectare) = 100 sq. dekameters = 2.47
acres
1 kilogram = 10 hectograms = 2.2 pounds
1 sq. kilometer = 100 sq. hectometers = .386 sq. mile
1 quintal = 100 kilograms = 220.46 pounds
1 metric ton =10 quintals = 1.1 short tons
