• You can derive conversion factors if you know the relationship between the unit you HAVE and the unit you WANT. • For example, from the fact that deci- means “1/10”, you know that there is a 1/10 of a meter per decimeter and that each meter must have 10 decimeters. (1m = 10dm).

• You can write the following conversion factor relating meters and decimeters: (1 meter/10 decimeter) and (.1 meter/1 decimeter) and

(10 decimeter/1 meter)
