Study Notes

Conversion Factors

Length:
- 10 millimeters (mm) = 1 centimeter (cm)
- 1,000 millimeters (mm) = 1 meter (m)
- 100 centimeters (cm) = 1 meter (m)
- 1,000 meters (m) = 1 kilometer (km)
Volume:
- 1,000 milliliters (mℓ) = 1 liter (ℓ)
- 1,000 liters (ℓ) = 1 kiloliter (kℓ)
Weight:
- 1,000 milligrams (mg) = 1 gram (g)
- 1,000 grams (g) = 1 kilogram(kg)
- 1,000 kilograms (kg) = 1 tonne (t)

Converting Metric Units

When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, multiply by the conversion factor.
When converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide by the conversion factor.

Imperial to Metric Conversions

From Metric to Imperial:*
1 cm = 0.3937 inches (in)
1 m = 1.0936 yards (yd.)
1 km = 0.6214 miles (mi)
1 m = 3.2808 feet (ft.)
From Imperial to Metric:*
1 inch (in) = 2.54 cm
1 yard (yd.) = 0.9144 m
1 mile (mi) = 1.6093 km
1 foot (ft.) = 0.3048 m

Cooking Conversions

1 cup = 250 mℓ
1 tablespoon (tbsp.) = 15 mℓ
1 teaspoon (tsp) = 5 mℓ

Temperature Conversion

Celsius to Fahrenheit:*
°C = (°F – 32 ) × 5/9
Fahrenheit to Celsius:*
ºF = (9/5 × ºC) + 32

Calculating Perimeter, Area and Volume

Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape.
Area is the amount of surface a shape covers.
Volume is the amount of space a three-dimensional object occupies.

Formulas

Distance: Distance = average speed × time
Volume of a Cylinder: Volume of a cylinder = π × ( radius )2 × height ,where π = 3.142
Area of a Triangle: Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height
