MEASUREMENT

Chapter One: Measurement  1.1 Measurements  1.2 Time and Distance  1.3 Converting Measurements  1.4 Working with Measurements

1.1 Measurements  A measurement is a determination of the amount of something.  A measurement has two parts:  a number value and  a unit

1.1 Two common systems  The English System is used for everyday measurements in the United States.  Miles, yards, feet, inches, pounds, pints, quarts, gallons, cups, and teaspoons are all English system units.  In 1960, the Metric System was revised and simplified, and a new name was adopted— International System of Units.

1.1 International System of Measurement (SI)  The acronym SI comes from the French name Le Système International d’Unités.  SI units form a base-10 or decimal system.  In the metric system, there are:  10 millimeters in a centimeter,  100 centimeters in a meter, and  1,000 meters in a kilometer.

1.1 The meter stick  A meter stick is 1 meter long and is divided into millimeters and centimeters.

1.1 The meter stick  Each centimeter is divided into ten smaller units, called millimeters. What is the length in cm?

1.2 Metric prefixes  Prefixes are added to the names of basic SI units such as meter, liter and gram.  Prefixes describe very small or large measurements.

1.3 Converting units  To convert 1,565 pennies to the dollar amount, you divide 1,565 by 100 (since there are 100 pennies in a dollar).  Converting SI units is just as easy as converting pennies to dollars.

 Convert 655 mm to m 1.Looking for:  …the distance in meters 2.Given:  …distance = 655 millimeters 3.Relationships:  Ex. There are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter 4.Solution: 655 mm =.655 meters Solving Problems

Convert 142 km to m 1.Looking for:  …the distance in meters 2.Given:  …distance = 142 kilometers 3.Relationships:  Ex. There are ? meters in 1 kilometer? 4.Solution:  Use the conversion tool.

Solving Problems Convert 754,000 cm to km 1.Looking for:  …the distance in kilometers 2.Given:  …distance = 754,000 centimeters 3.Relationships:  Ex. There are ? cm in 1 m?  There are ? m in 1 km? 4.Solution:  Use the conversion tool.
