Base Name to Power of Ten (Level 2)

This math topic involves the conversion of metric unit prefixes into their equivalent powers of ten. It covers the understanding of prefix indications like milli, deca, kilo, hecto, centi, and deci, and their corresponding powers of ten expressions. The problems ask students to identify the appropriate equivalent power of ten for each metric prefix, enhancing their comprehension of how these prefixes relate to base ten calculations. This forms part of a larger unit on scientific notation units practice.
