About Metric Conversion:

When we convert between metric units we can multiply by a unit fraction, but a unit conversion chart is usually faster. We set up the unit conversion chart by memorizing: King (Kilo), Henry (Hecto), Died (Deka), Unexpectedly (Basic Unit), Drinking (Deci), Chocolate (Centi), Milk (Milli).
