Metric System Unit 2

History Inch-pound measuring system was adopted early in this country for two principal reasons 1.Most of our trade was with England where the inch-pound system was in use. 2.While the metric system was more uniform in its application to weights and measures, it was not firmly established in any nation including France where it had its beginning Today the International (SI)Metric System is in use in most nations of the world and the US is moving toward the metric system

Length International System of Units (SI)Metric Foot (base) ▫Smaller  Inches  Fractions ▫Larger than a foot  Yard  Mile Meter ▫Smaller than a meter  Millimeter  Centimeter  Decimeter ▫Larger than a meter  Decameter  Hectometer  Kilometer

Standard English Distance 5280 ft = 1 mile 3 ft. = 1 yd 12 in = 1 ft Volume/liquid 1 gal = 4 qt 1 qt = 2 pts 1 pt = 16 oz Mass 1 lb = 16 oz

Prefixes of Metric Units PrefixExample Milli = 1 / 1000 (thousandths) Centi = 1/100 (hundredths) Deci = 1/10 (tenths) Meter (base) Deca = tens Hecto = hundreds Kilo = thousands 1 millimeter = 1 / 1000 meter 3 centigrams = 3 / 100 gram 6 deciliter = 6 / 10 liter 7 meters = 7 meters 2 decameters = 20 meters 4 hectograms = 400 grams 7 kilometers = 7000 meters

Deca HectoKilo decicentimilli Base Gram (mass /weght)Meter (length) liter (volume/liquids)

Kilometer (km) = ______ meters Hectometer (hm) = _______meters Decameter (dam) = _______ meters Meter = 1 meter Decimeter (dm) = _____meter ▫_____dm = 1 meter Centimeter (cm) = _______ meter ▫______ cm = 1 meter Millimeter (mm) = _______ meter ▫______ mm = 1 meter /10 1/100 1/1000

Meter Length Slightly longer than a yard

Gram Mass (weight)  Kilogram is slightly more than 2 pounds

Liter Volume ▫Cubic meters (m 3 )  Dirt, sand and gravel ▫Liter  Liquids  Approximately the size of a quart
