Steps to covert from one unit to another:

Write the problem you want to convert.

Place an “X” at the unit you are starting at.

Put your finger on the unit you want to convert to.

Draw an arrow to that direction you want to go to get to your finger.

Place a dot to where you need to end.

Now, count the number of places you must “jump” to get to the dot.

Take the decimal point in your problem and move the same number of spaces in the direction of the arrow. If you run out of numbers, use zeros as place values.

Re-write your new number.

EXAMPLE: 325 mm = _________dkm
