ok help with next question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Order each list of units from most precise to least precise. Centimeter, millimeter, decameter, meter, kilometer

OpenStudy (triciaal):

if you had 8.06 I would round up to 8.1 need 2 digits if you had 0.34 it would be 0.34

OpenStudy (triciaal):

first the prefix centi- 1/100 milli -1/1000 kilo - 1000 metre - unit of 1 deca - 10 example kilometer = 1000 meter= 1000m millimeter = 1/1000 of 1 meter = 0.001m precise meaning how accurate you can get the measurement hope this helped
