    The document provides a table for converting between metric prefixes and units. The table shows how to convert values between units by locating the original prefix in the left column and moving horizontally to the desired unit in the top row. The number at the intersection indicates how many places to move the decimal point, either left or right, to do the conversion. For example, to convert 0.15 kilowatts to watts, look up "Kilo-" and move right to "Unit (watts)" - the number is 3, so move the decimal 3 places left to get 150 watts.

    Conversions: Metric Values

    The table below provides a fast and easy means of Example: Convert 0.15 kilowatts to watts. Starting at the
    conversion from one metric notation to another. The value “Kilo-” box in the left-hand column, move horizontally to the
    labeled “Unit” represents a basic unit of measurement, such column headed by “Unit” (since watt is a basic unit of
    as meter, gram, ohm, erg, etc. First, locate the original value measurement), and read 3 . Thus 0.15 kilowatts is the
    in the left-hand column. Follow the row horizontally to the equivalent of 150 watts.
    vertical column headed by the prefix of the desired value. The Example: Convert 4,500 kilohertz to megahertz, read in the
    arrow and figure at this intersection represent the direction in box horizontal to “Kilo-” and under “Mega-” the notation
    which the decimal point should be moved and the number of 3, which means a shift of the decimal point three places
    places to move it. to the left. Thus, 4,500 kilohertz is the equivalent of 4.5
    megahertz.
