This math topic focuses on practicing conversion between various metric units of length, incorporating the use of decimals. The skills involve converting larger metric units (like kilometers, hectometers, and decameters) to smaller units (such as meters, decimeters, and centimeters) and vice versa. The problems provide multiple answer choices, challenging students to apply their understanding of the metric system accurately. The topic is suitable for learners getting introduced to metric conversions and is detailed at an intermediate level of complexity.
