METRIC CONVERSIONS

Metric Base Units of Measure: Physical Qualities Name of Units Mass = gram (g) Volume = liter (L) Length = meter (m) Time = second (s) Know your metric prefixes: Prefix symbol Meaning King Kilo k 1000 Henry Hecto h 100 Dead Deka da 10 By Base ___ (g/L/m/s) 1 Drinking Deci d 0.1 Chocolate Centi c 0.01 Milk Milli m 0.001

Dimensional Analysis Converting between metric units How many milligrams (mg) are in 14 grams (g)?

Converting between metric units How many milligrams (mg) are in 14 grams (g)? Write down the symbols 14 g  ? mg

Converting between metric units How many milligrams (mg) are in 14 grams (g)? k h da B d c m Put down the prefix 14 g  ? mg

Converting between metric units How many milligrams (mg) are in 14 grams (g)? k h da B 1 d c m Circle the prefixes and put “1” on the top prefix 14 g  ? mg

Converting between metric units How many milligrams (mg) are in 14 grams (g)? k h da B 1 d 0 C 0 m 0 Put “0” all the way down until you reach the bottom prefix 14 g  ? mg

Converting between metric units How many milligrams (mg) are in 14 grams (g)? Write the relationship. Put on the conversion factor KEY: CANCEL UNIT k h da B 1 d 0 C 0 m 0 1g = 1000 mg

Converting between metric units How many milligrams (mg) are in 14 grams (g)? Cancel the unit and calculate. Double check the unit. k h da B 1 d 0 C 0 m 0 1g = 1000 mg

Do this one: a)35 kiloliter to centiliter

Do this: a)35 kiloliter to centiliter 35 kL  ? cL 1 kL = cL 35 kL ( cL) = cL 1 kL k 1 h 0 da 0 B 0 d 0 c 0 m

k 1 h 0 da 0 B d C m 1kL = 100 daL

k 1 h 0 da 0 B d C m 1 kL = 100 daL

Do this: a)76 millimeter to meter

Do this: a)76 millimeter to meter 76 mm  ? m 1 m = 1000 mm 76 mm ( 1 m ) 1000 mm = m k h da B 1 d 0 c 0 m 0

Now you try a few; Convert the following measurements. Remember to show ALL work. 4.5 kg  g 190 cL  hL 7 dam  dm 86 L  cL 32 m  mm 2.6 kg  mg
