How do the prefixes in the metric system relate to the basic units?

The basic unit of length in the metric system is the meter. Grams are
used to measure weight and liter is used to measure liquid capacity
besides, it is used  so that you can express very large and very small numbers in a short
unambiguous manner.
Example Instead of saying "three thousand
million" meters
They classify the decimal place of the basic unit. ie, the meter is
classified with milli (1/1000), centi(1/100), deci (1/10), Deca (10),
Hecto (100), Kilo (1000).

Answer:


The prefixes in the metric system are used to modify the basic units. The prefixes either make the unit a larger measurement, as in the case of meter to kilometer, or they make the unit a smaller measurement, as in the case of meter to millimeter.
