Base Name to Decimal (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding and converting metric units to their decimal equivalents, a part of an introduction to scientific notation units. It involves identifying the decimal representation of standard metric prefixes such as milli, deci, hecto, deca, kilo, and centi. Each question presents a specific metric prefix and asks learners to choose the correct decimal value from multiple options. The skills practiced include basic knowledge of metric units and the ability to relate them to their corresponding power-of-ten numerical values.
