What is the metric unit for each of the following conversions?

1. 87.43 m = 8,743 ?
2. 10,542 ml = 10.542 ?
3. 8.42 mm = 0.842 ?

87.43 metres = 8743 centimetres. 10542 ml = 10.542 litres. 8.42mm = 0.842 centimetres.

The metric unit for 87.43 m = 8,743 is centimeters (cm), for 10,542 ml = 10.542 is liters (L), and for 8.42 mm = 0.842 is meters (m).
To convert from one metric unit to another, we use the following relationships:

For length:

1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)

1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)

1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 meters (m)

For volume:

1 liter (L) = 1,000 milliliters (ml)

1 milliliter (ml) = 1 cubic centimeter (cm³)

1 kiloliter (kL) = 1,000 liters (L)


Given the conversions, let's solve each part of the question:

For the length conversion of 87.43 m to centimeters:

87.43 m × 1 m 100 cm ​ = 8 , 743 cm
Therefore, 87.43 meters is equal to 8,743 centimeters.

For the volume conversion of 10,542 ml to liters:

10 , 542 ml × 1 , 000 ml 1 L ​ = 10.542 L
Therefore, 10,542 milliliters is equal to 10.542 liters.

For the length conversion of 8.42 mm to meters:

8.42 mm × 10 mm 1 cm ​ × 100 cm 1 m ​ = 0.0842 m
Therefore, 8.42 millimeters is equal to 0.0842 meters.
However, there seems to be a discrepancy in the last conversion. The correct conversion for 8.42 mm to meters should be 0.0842 m, not 0.842 m. The correct metric unit for 8.42 mm = 0.0842 is meters (m).
