To tell whether the unit is measuring length, mass, or volume, you look at the base. Using this table as a reference, you can see the following: A kilogram is 1,000 times larger than one gram (so 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams). A centimeter is 100 times smaller than one meter (so 1 meter = 100 centimeters).

We usually write units just using their abbrevations.

1. Example: km for kilometer.
2. Example: m/s (or m s-1) for meter per second. m/s is a unit of speed.
3. Example: kg/m3 (or kg m-3) for kilogram per cubic meter. kg/m3 is a unit of density: how much mass per unit of volume.

The base SI units are metre, kilogram, second, kelvin, ampere, candela and the mole and the three supplementary SI units are radian, steradian and becquerel. All other SI units can be derived from these base units.

The volume of one unit of RBCs contains approximately 200mL red blood cells, 100 mL of an additive solution, and ~30mL plasma, with a hematocrit approximately 55%.

So to display the units or multiples of units for either Resistance, Current or Voltage we would use as an example: 1kV = 1 kilo-volt – which is equal to 1,000 Volts. 1mA = 1 milli-amp – which is equal to one thousandths (1/1000) of an Ampere. 47kΩ = 47 kilo-ohms – which is equal to 47 thousand Ohms.

So, 1 unit can be anything 1 cm , 1 km , 1 kg or anything .

A centimetre (international spelling) or centimeter (American spelling) (SI symbol cm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of 1100.
