How do you abbreviate units of measurement?
When a prefix is added to a basic metric unit, the word is abbreviated by using the first letter of the prefix and the first letter of the basic unit. "Centimeter" is centi + meter, so the abbreviation is "cm."
How do you abbreviate measure of numbers?
Use "m." or "measure" when referring to one bar only, and "mm." when referring to a number of bars (i.e., mm. 59-62).
