19 + 9 = 28
kilo = 1000
28 * 1000 = 28000

That's what I'd go with.  The main thing to remember with the metric system is that there are about 10 relevant terms, and if they're put into a grid, that's the whole thing.

Volumes are measured in liters, distance in meters and mass in grams.

Mega means * 1,000,000
kilo means * 1000
hecto means * 100
deka means * 10

deci means * 0.10
centi means * 0.01
milli means * 0.001
micro means * 0.000001 (one millionth)

Stick one of the prefixes in front of the type of measurement, and you have the relationship.
