Metric Chapter 2
How big is a liter? • You certainly know how large a 2L soda bottle is, • so imagine half of that
about 1 meter How long is a meter? • You certainly know how long your arm is.
How heavy is a gram? • You certainly have a feel for the “heft” of a nickel, • so imagine one fifth of that.
How heavy is a gram? • Approximately the mass of one large paperclip.
Which of the choices below is correct when converting 325 cm to km? • 325,000,000 • 32,500,000 • 325,000 • 3.25 • 0.325 • 0.0325 • 0.00325 • 0.000325
Which of the choices below is correct when converting 325 cm to km? • 325,000,000 • 32,500,000 • 325,000 • 3.25 • 0.325 • 0.0325 • 0.00325 • 0.000325
The Metric System • So if asked to convert 325 cm to km you could use the standard conversion factor method: • 325cm * 0.01m/1cm * 1km/1000m = 0.00325km • This seems a bit tedious and not particularly efficient. So....
If the unit is larger, the value gets smaller, move the decimal to the left kilo- --- --- base units: meter, liter, gram, etc deci- centi- milli- --- --- micro- --- --- nano- If the unit gets smaller, the value gets larger, move the decimal to the right Using the Metric System Efficiently • Once you learn the order of the prefixes, just let the “decimal do the walking.” 325 cm = 0.00325 km
