For the first question, the correct answer is "The system is based on multiples of 10." The metric system is a decimal-based system where units are related to each other by multiples of 10. This makes conversions between different units much simpler.
As for the second question, you correctly chose the answer "1,000." In the metric system, there is a hierarchical relationship between units. Moving from kilograms to milligrams requires multiplying by 1,000, as there are 1,000 milligrams in one kilogram.
Therefore, both of your answers are correct. Well done!
