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

  • To convert 48 ounces to pounds: 48 oz ÷ 16 = 3 lb
  • To convert 4 kilograms to grams: 4 kg × 1000 = 4000 g
  • To convert 4 kilograms to pounds: 4 kg × 2.20462 = 8.81849 lb (approx.)
  • To convert 48 ounces to grams: 48 oz × 28.3495 = 1360.78 g (approx.)
  • To convert 4 kilograms to ounces: 4 kg × 35.274 = 141.095 oz (approx.)
  • To convert 48 ounces to kilograms: 48 oz ÷ 35.274 = 1.36078 kg (approx.)
  • To convert 4 grams to ounces: 4 g ÷ 28.3495 = 0.141095 oz (approx.)

Conclusion

  • The metric system simplifies calculations with a consistent set of units and conversion factors based on ten, fostering global standardization in measurements.
