The metric system • There are different units to the “meter” system… Kilo HectoDecadécicentimilli dm km m cm mm hm dam King Henri died. Mother didn’t care much.
But how do we go from one unit to the other?? • The different units are on the same scale. They are multiples! • We simply have to multiply or divide by 10. X10 X10 X10 X10 X10 X10 dm dam km m cm mm hm ÷10 ÷10 ÷10 ÷10 ÷10 ÷10
A few examples! 1000 mm ?? m 1 m 1 km ?? dm 10000 dm 1 cm ?? m 0,01 m
