Question

Order these units from smallest to largest:
cm,um,km,mm,m,nm,dm,pm
Give each a measurement in terms of meters.

Answer 1

The units are ordered smallest to largest from top to bottom:
Picometer (pm) = 1 x 10⁻¹² meters
Nanometer (nm) = 1 x 10⁻⁹ meters
Micrometer (um) = 1 x 10⁻⁶ meters
Millimeter (mm) = 1 x 10⁻³ meters
Centimeter (cm) = 1 x 10⁻² meters
Decimeter (dm) = 1 x 10⁻¹ meters
Meters (m) = 1 meter
Kilometers (Km) = 1 x 10³ meters
