Study Notes
Metric Measurements
- The basic unit of length is the metre (m).
- Other commonly used units include millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), and kilometres (km).
- Conversions between these units can be done using multiplication or division based on the relationship between the units. Conversion tables show relationships between mm, cm, dm, m, dam, hm, and km.
Conversion Tables
- Millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), decimetres (dm), metres (m), decametres (dam), hectometres (hm), and kilometres (km) have specific relationships converting between each other. A table displaying the relative sizes of the different units is available. These units are also used to measure mass, and volume.
Conversions & Examples
- To convert larger units (like metres) to smaller units (like centimetres), use multiplication.
- To convert smaller units (like centimetres) to larger units (like metres), use division.
- Example conversion: 3 meters is equal to 300 centimetres.
- Another example conversion: 5 kilometers and 250 meters is equivalent to 5,250 meters.
Volume Conversions
- The basic metric unit of volume is the litre (L).
- The millilitre (mL) is another common unit.
- 1 litre is equivalent to 1000 millilitres.
- Conversions involve multiplying or dividing by 1000 to change between litres and millilitres.
Mass Conversions
- The basic metric unit of mass is the gram (g).
- Other units include kilogram (kg), and tonne (t).
- 1 tonne equals 1000 kilograms.
- 1 kilogram equals 1000 grams.
- Conversion tables are shown. These tables detail relationships between mg, cg, dg, g, dag, hg, and kg.
Adding and Subtracting
- Measurements of length, mass, and volume can be added and subtracted if units are the same. Start with the smallest unit, then proceed to the larger ones. If you have mixed units, make sure all units are the same. Convert to get the same unit before you do the addition or subtraction. Example problems are provided. Specific examples of addition and subtraction of different units of length, mass, and volume are shown in the conversion examples.
