How can you use the metric prefixes milli-,centi-, and kilo- to help you decide if a metric conversion is reasonable?

milli centi and kilo each has a meaning: milli means one thousandth of, centi means one hundredth of, and kilo means one thousand of. So just use the meanings to see if the conversion is correct.
