In the metric system, things are easy if you know what the prefixes mean. Micro- means 1/1 000 000, milli- means 1/1000, centi- means 1/100, deci- means 1/10, kilo means 1 000, mega means 1 000 000 and so on. Therefore 1000 millimeters is equal to 1 meter, 100 centimeters, 0.1 kilometers, 1000000 micrometers and so on. In the imperial system of measurement, things are not so nice, and 1 meter (1000 millimeters) is approximately equal to 1.0936 yards, 3.2808 feet, 39.3701 inches and so on.
