It is not unusual for a simple unit conversion to require two steps. Consider Michelle's problem. The length of the dowel used to make the perch of the birdhouse is 1.016 dm. How many centimeters is this? You have definitions relating decimeters to meters and centimeters to meters, but none relating decimeters to centimeters. As a result, you must convert 1.016 dm to meters and then to centimeters as follows: 1) 35 mg 2) 0.14 dL 3) 832.5 nm = 4) 0.0003 L
