\nThe prefix 'm' means milli and indicates that the value in question is multiplied by $10^{-3}$
\nIn this example:
\n$\\var{ml}$ $ml$ = $\\var{ml}\\times 10^{-3}$ $l$ = $\\var{litres}$ $l$
\n\n
Part (b)
\nThe prefix 'k' means kilo and indicates that the value in question is multiplied by $10^{3}$
\nIn this example:
\n$\\var{kg}$ $kg$ = $\\var{kg}\\times 10^{3}$ $g$ = $\\var{g}$ $g$
\nTo introduce the prefix 'm' for 'milligrams' we can multiply by $10^{3}$. This is balanced out by the introduction of the milli prefix, as we saw in part (a) the prefix milli means $10^{-3}$.
\n$\\var{g}$ $g$ = $\\var{g} \\times 10^{3}$ $mg$ = $\\var{mg}$ $mg$
