<u>Answer:</u> The quantity of every prefix is written below as a power of ten.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the metric system of measurement, the name of multiples and subdivision of any unit is done by combining the name of the unit with the prefixes.

<u>For Example:</u> deka, hecto and kilo means 10, 100 and 1000 respectively. Deci, centi and milli means one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth respectively.

The quantity of these prefixes are written as the power of 10.

For the given prefixes:

<u>Nano:</u>  The quantity will be 10^{-9}

<u>Kilo:</u>  The quantity will be 10^3

<u>Centi:</u>  The quantity will be 10^{-2}

<u>Micro:</u>  The quantity will be 10^{-6}

<u>Milli:</u>  The quantity will be 10^{-3}

<u>Mega:</u>  The quantity will be 10^6

Hence, the quantity of every prefix is written above as a power of ten.
