1. Click ‘Get Form’ button to access the Stair-Step Method form and open it for editing.
2. Identify the starting measurement that you want to convert. Check if it has a prefix such as Kilo-, Hecto-, Deka-, Deci-, Centi-, or Milli-. If there is no prefix, you are working with a base unit.
3. Locate the target measurement you wish to convert to and find its corresponding prefix in the metric system.
4. Count the number of steps between the starting prefix and the target prefix, noting whether to move left or right across the metric prefixes.
5. Adjust the decimal point in your original measurement based on the number of steps moved. Move the decimal the same number of places in the same direction as the steps counted.
6. If moving to a larger unit requires more decimal places than you have in your number, add zeros to keep the value accurate.
7. Once you have completed the conversion and verified the accuracy, you can save the changes to the form, download it, print, or share it as necessary.
