The United States uses the dollar ($1.00) as the basic unit of currency. In our monetary system we move the decimal to express a multiple or fraction of a dollar ($10.00 and $0.10). Similarly, the metric system is a decimal system but uses a prefix to express a multiple or a fraction of a basic unit. A metric prefix increases or decreases a basic unit by a factor of 10 . For instance, the prefix
kilo increases a basic unit by a thousand, while the prefix centi decreases a basic unit by a hundred. Thus, a kilometer is 1000 meters, and a centimeter is 0.01 meter.
