    Study Notes

    Key Characteristics of the Metric System

    • The metric system is based on powers of ten, allowing for easy conversions.
    • It is universally used in most countries for scientific and everyday measurements.

    Units in the Metric System

    • Weight: Measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg).
    • Volume: Measured in liters (L) and milliliters (mL).
    • Distance: Measured in meters (m), centimeters (cm), and kilometers (km).

    Conversion Factors

    • To convert feet to inches: 1 foot = 12 inches.
    • To convert kilograms to grams: 1 kilogram = 1000 grams.
    • To convert pounds to ounces: 1 pound = 16 ounces.
    • To convert gallons to quarts: 1 gallon = 4 quarts.
    • To convert milliliters to liters: 1000 milliliters = 1 liter.

    Correct Conversion Factors Summary

    • Feet to Inches: 1 ft = 12 in
    • Kilograms to Grams: 1 kg = 1000 g
    • Pounds to Ounces: 1 lb = 16 oz
    • Gallons to Quarts: 1 gal = 4 qt
    • Milliliters to Liters: 1000 mL = 1 L
    • Ounces to Pounds: 1 oz = 1/16 lb
    • Quarts to Gallons: 1 qt = 1/4 gal
    • Grams to Kilograms: 1 g = 1/1000 kg
    • Inches to Feet: 1 in = 1/12 ft
    • Liters to Milliliters: 1 L = 1000 mL

    Conversion Equations
