\begin{gathered} Milli=0.001\text{ unit} \\ centi=0.01\text{unit} \\ \text{deci}=0.1\text{unit} \\ unit=1\text{unit} \\ deca=10\text{unit} \\ hecto=100\text{unit} \\ \text{kilo}=1000\text{unit} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{ So, in that order, we get that the answer is} \\ 2.\text{ Kilo - Hecto - Deca- unit - Deci - Centi - Milli} \end{gathered}
