  1. 6-5 Changing metric units

  2. *Metric System- • A decimal system of measures. • The prefixes most commonly used are kilo-, centi-, and milli-

  3. LENGTH is measured in meters. • Kilometer km 1km = 1000 m • Hectometer hm 1hm = 100 m • Decameter dam 1dam = 10 m • Meter m 1m = 1m • Decimeter dm 1m = 10 dm • Centimeter cm 1m = 100 cm • Millimeter mm 1m = 1000 mm

  4. VOLUME is measured in liters. • KiloliterkL 1kL = 1000 L • HectoliterhL 1hL = 100 L • DecaliterdaL 1daL = 10 L • Liter L 1L = 1L • DeciliterdL 1L = 10 dL • Centiliter cL 1L = 100 cL • Milliliter mL 1L = 1000 mL

  5. MASS is measured in grams. • Kilogram kg 1kg = 1000 g • Hectogram hg 1hg = 100 g • Decagram dag 1dag = 10 g • Gram g 1g = 1g • Decigram dg 1g = 10 dg • Centigram cg 1g = 100 cg • Milligram mg 1g = 1000 mg

  6. Examples! • Ex: Convert 300 cm into meters • Ex: Convert 7 kg into grams

  7. Short Cut!!! • Kilo- • Hecto- • Deca- • Meter/Liter/Gram • Deci- • Centi- • Milli-

  8. Examples! • 4.5 L to mL • 500 mm to m • 25.4 cg to kg

  9. Order from Least to Greatest • 660 mL, 0.06 L, 6.6 kL

  10. Conversion between systems

  11. Converting between systems… Examples! • 17.22 inches to cm • 828.5 mL to cups • 9.5gal to L • 15.09km to yd

  12. Double Conversions • 72.26 cm to ft
