  1. Problem Set 1-8b More work with the Metric System

  2. Question 1 • a. meter: SI base unit of length , m • b. gram: metric base unit-mass, g • c. liter: metric base unit of volume, l (lower case) • d. second: SI base unit of time, s • e. kilogram: SI base unit of mass, kg

  3. Question 2 • a. kilo: 1000, k • b. hecto: 100, h • c. deca (deka): 10, da • d. deci: 1/10, d • e. centi: 1/100, c • f. milli: 1/1000, m

  4. Problem 3 • a. 1 km = 10 hm • b. 1 km = 100 dam • c. 1 km = 1000 g • d. 1 m = 10 dm • e. 1 m = 100 cm • f. 1 m = 1000 mm

  5. Problem 4 • a. 1200m x 1km/1000m = 1.2km • b. 0.055cm x 1m/100cm = 0.00055m • c. 10dag x 10g/1dag x 10dg/g= 1000dg • d. 22mg x 1g/1000mg x 100cg/1g = 2.2cg • e. 37.5cg x 1g/100cg = 0.375 g

  6. Problem 5 • a. 25 km/h x 1000m/1km x 1h/3600s • = 6.94 m/s • b. 75 km/h x 1000m/1km x 1h/3600s • = 20.8 m/s • c. 3.5 m/s x 1km/1000m x 3600s/1h • = 12.6 km/h • d. 10 m/s x 1km/1000m x 3600s/1h • = 36 km/h
