This math topic focuses on converting units of metric length with decimals, specifically from smaller to larger units. Students practice converting between metric units such as decimeters (dm), millimeters (mm), decameters (dam), hectometers (hm), and kilometers (km). Each problem requires converting a given measurement to a different unit, highlighting knowledge of the metric system and accuracy in calculations involving decimal value conversions. The exercises are suitable for enhancing skills in unit conversion within the framework of speed, distance, and time computations.
