This math topic focuses on converting common metric length units using decimals from larger units to base units (meters). It provides practice in handling conversions between different metric units such as hectometers, decameters, kilometers, decimeters, and millimeters to meters or to each other. Each question presents a conversion problem, asking to convert specified measures to different metric units with various answer options that include common errors such as misplaced decimal points to enhance understanding of metric conversions.
