The metric staircase is a brilliant way to convert between metric units. http://www.chemtutor.com/unit.htm#stair

The problem you did is incorrect, but I’m sure you’ll start to understand after checking out the staircase.

if you are going up, then add a zero. if you are going down, then move the decimal one place to the left.
