Do this one:

a)35 kiloliter to centiliter

Do this:

a)35 kiloliter to centiliter 35 kL ? cL

1 kL = 100000 cL

35 kL (100000 cL) = 3500000 cL 1 kL

1kL = 100 daL

•

1 kL = 100 daL

Do this:

a)76 millimeter to meter

Do this:

a)76 millimeter to meter 76 mm ? m

1 m = 1000 mm

76 mm ( 1 m ) 1000 mm = 0.076 m
