Metric Conversion Practice
This document contains 10 metric conversion practice problems. It converts between units like mL and L, m and mm, g and kg, cm and m, mL and dL, kg and g, mg and cg, kg and mg, and mL and cm3. Each problem shows the conversion calculation in a fraction format and reduces the units.
Metric system conversions 2010
The document provides information about the metric system of measurement including:
- The metric system is used by scientists worldwide and is easier than other systems because it is based on multiples of ten.
- The basic metric units are meters for length, liters for volume, and grams for mass. Prefixes are used for larger or smaller units.
- Conversions within the metric system are done by moving the decimal place in the number the same number of spaces as moving between prefixes on a chart.
- Conversions between metric and English units use a conversion factor written as a fraction, with the starting and ending units in the denominator and numerator respectively.
Measurement PPT
The document discusses various units of measurement for length, volume, mass, and temperature in both the metric and imperial systems. It provides examples to convert between units and explains how to measure quantities using tools like rulers, graduated cylinders, balances, and thermometers. Key metric units include meters, centimeters, millimeters, liters, milliliters, grams, and degrees Celsius.
Converting Customary System to Metric System.pptx
This document provides information about converting between customary and metric measurement systems including equivalent units, examples of conversions between the two systems, and practice problems for additional conversions. Key details include conversion factors between inches to centimeters, yards to meters, pounds to kilograms, gallons to liters, and Fahrenheit to Celsius. Examples are given for converting between miles to kilometers, pounds to kilograms, and gallons to liters. Additional practice problems provide conversions within and between the customary and metric systems for units of time, temperature, volume, distance, speed, and mass.
Metric system
The document discusses the differences between the metric and standard/English systems of measurement. The metric system uses a base-10 system which makes conversions easier compared to the base-12 English system. Most countries use the metric system, with the only other country still using English being Myanmar. While the US still uses English measurements for convenience and cost reasons, the metric system is easier to use and is the universal standard for science. The document then explains the metric system prefixes and how to use them to convert between different metric units of measurement.
Converting in metric
The document discusses converting measurements within the metric system. It explains that the metric system is based around multiples of 10, with prefixes like kilo and centi denoting multiplication or division by powers of 10. It provides examples of converting between grams and kilograms by moving the decimal point. The document also notes that the metric system is almost universal, while the US still uses traditional English measurements, and describes a past US attempt under President Carter to convert to the metric system that ultimately failed.
Lesson 12 1 Tutorial
This document provides instructions for converting between metric unit prefixes using a mnemonic device called the "King Henry Doesn't Usually Drink Chocolate Milk" method. Several examples are worked through, showing how to determine the number of places to move the decimal point left or right based on the prefixes in the original and target units, such as moving three places right to convert kilometers to meters. Step-by-step solutions are provided for converting between kilometers and millimeters, meters and kilometers, decimeters and millimeters, and kilometers and meters.
