This math topic focuses on the conversion of metric length units involving decimals. Specifically, it covers converting smaller metric units to their base forms (like meters) and includes units such as decameters (dam), hectometers (hm), centimeters (cm), and kilometers (km). Each question provides a metric length in one unit and asks for conversion into another, with multiple-choice answers to test understanding of the metric system's conversion principles.
