One thing that has never been my strong point is having to convert in the metric system. I know that all you have to do is move the decimal, but it gets confusing as to which way to move the decimal...
It can also be confusing not remember the order that they go in. Heres a mnemonicdevice that helps: King Henry Dies Ugh Drinking Chocolate Milk (KHDUDCM) = Kilo- Hecto- Deka- Unit (base unit, move the decimal from this spot) Deci- Centi- Mili- (KHDUDCM)
