$12 \cdot c m$ $12*cm$ $\equiv$ $-=$ $12 \times 10^{- 2} m$ $12xx10^-2m$ , or $0.012 \cdot m$ $0.012*m$

Explanation:

$c$ $c$ in $c m$ $cm$ stands for $centi$ $"centi"$ , i.e. $\times 10^{- 2}$ $xx10^-2$ . In the same way $μ$ $mu$ in $μ m$ $mum$ stands for $\times 10^{- 6}$ $xx10^-6$ .

And thus:

$1 \cdot μ m \equiv 10^{- 6} m$ $1*mum-=10^-6m$

$1 \cdot c m \equiv 10^{- 2} m$ $1*cm-=10^-2m$

$1 \cdot d m \equiv 10^{- 1} m$ $1*dm-=10^-1m$

$1 \cdot k m \equiv 10^{3} m$ $1*km-=10^3m$

And so on!
