Basic Conversion Cheat Sheet - Math with Mr. Gillam
|Basic Conversion Cheat Sheet |
• Three basic units of measurement( length, mass (weight), volume
o The basic unit of length is: METER
o The basic unit of volume is: LITER
o The basic unit of mass (weight) is: GRAM
• The following are some of the prefixes for the metric system. They are based on powers of ten and can all be applied to length, mass, or volume. Smaller units are on the left, larger units are on the right.
o When converting, assign the unit to the right a value of 1 and add a zero each unit you move to the left. Example: 1 dekameter = 1000 centimeters or 1 kilometer = 10 hectometers.
o For the prefixes outside milli and kilo, add 3 zeros for every unit. Realize there are other prefixes that fall into these gaps, but the ones listed are the more commonly used in science.
