Metrics 1

I know you learned it before… w. K h da O d c m w Kids have dropped over dead converting metrics. OR 2

Metrics w K h da m d c m w Kangaroos hop down mountains drinking chocolate milk. 3

Metrics w K h da O d c m w Here is how it works: 4

Metrics The letters represent: w kilo, w hecto, w deca, w ( base unit), w deci w centi w milli 5

Metrics K h da d c m w The base unit (gram, meter, liter, etc. ) goes in the circle. w You know it is a base unit when it is only one letter: m, g, l 6

Metrics K h da g d c m w Convert: 376. 9 g to kg 376. 9 g = 0. 3769 kg 7

Let’s Try again! w. K h da g d c m w Convert: 0. 00158 hl to ml 0. 00158 hl = 158 ml 8

One more K h da g d c m w Convert: 17. 9 mg to dag 17. 9 mg = 0. 00179 dag 9

You Try! Convert: 0. 00800 km to m 25 000 mm to hm 65. 40 mg to cg 3200 L to k. L 0. 0608 kg to mg 1. 75 g to cg 10

Answers Convert: 0. 008 00 km = 8. 00 m 25 000 mm = 0. 25 hm 65. 40 mg = 6. 540 cg 3200 L = 3. 2 k. L 0. 0608 kg = 60 800 mg 1. 75 g = 175 cg 11

Two others Mega and Micro are two more metric prefixes we will use in chemistry. Mega = M = 1 million Micro = = 1 millionth 12

Two others M _ _ K h da g d c m _ _ Convert 0. 0450 Mm to hm Convert 65 400 g to dg 13

You Try! Convert: 150. 00 mg to g 0. 000 678 Mm to cm 654 000 g to cg 3200 m. L to h. L 0. 0608 g to mg 6500 g to kg 14

Answers Convert: 150. 00 mg = 0. 15000 g 0. 000678 Mm = 67. 8 cm 654 000 g = 65. 4 cg 3200 m. L = 0. 032 h. L 0. 0608 g = 60. 8 mg 6500 g = 6. 5 kg 15

Other prefixes Giga (G) = Mega 1000 Terra (T) = Giga 1000 Nano (n) = Micro x 1000 Pico (p) = Nano x 1000 16
