This document discusses different units of measurement for volume, weight, and length. It defines base units and explains the metric system prefixes for converting between larger and smaller units. Examples are provided for measuring volume in liters, weight in grams, and length in meters. The document also shows how to perform conversions between units using the metric prefixes and decimal places. Practice problems at the end ask the reader to convert given measurements and identify if it is a measurement of volume, weight, or length.
