|ex. 48 inches = ____ feet |ex. 100 cm = ___ m |

|48 divided by 12 = 4 feet |100 cm = 1 m |

|12 inches = 1 foot |1 m = 100 cm |

|(greater than 1) |meter (m) 1 |

| |centimeter (cm) 0.01 |

| |millimeter (mm) 0.001 |

|prefix that means |slightly further than |

|ex. 10 km = ___ m |ex. 6 feet = ___ inches |

|10 km = 10,000 m |6 x 12 = 72 inches |

|1 km = 1000 m |12 inches = 1 foot |

|You need MORE of a smaller unit to equal a bigger unit |slightly further |
