Hi,
could someone provide any important pointers for conversion such as 1cm=100 m then how 1cm^3 is equal to how many meters or kilometers?

I am not so good with conversion from unit of measurement to another. please help?
Thanks

When there are too many to convert try:
Example: convert cm to km...

10cm X (1m/100cm) X (1km/1000m) . this way you can see units being canceled out and have a clearer sense of what's going on.

well 1mm^3 can be written as 1mm *1mm *1mm (like multiplying to get volume - L*W*H or area with squared feet etc.). So to convert those you can try 1mm *1mm*1mm * 1cm/10mm * 1cm/10mm * 1cm/10mm to get cm^3. I dont think any problems will have you get something like:
mm*cm^2 - they will want you to convert everything to the other measurement. Or they could ask you to find a measurement like Width in cm from area in mm^3 and then ask you to get surface area in CM.
