Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I use a table to help me teach metric unit conversions.
First to learn the order of metric units you should memorize the following:
Kangaroos Hopping Down Mountains Drinking Chocolate Milk hop hop Milkshake
The words will help you remember Kilo Hecto Deka Meter (base) deci centi milli micro
If you make a chart with these as the heading for each column, then you can start making conversions. Start with your base unit and move to the desired unit. If you move move to the left of your base, you will move the decimal to the left. If you move to the right, you will move the decimal to the right. Therefore, 125 mcg will equal 0.125 mg because you moved from your base number (3 places to the left which make you move your decimal 3 places to the left) Good Luck! Hope this helps.
