The metric system is a system of measuring. It is used for three basic units of measure: metres (m), litres (L) and grams (g). What makes the metric system so useful is that all three units of measure are based on the powers of ten (including 0.000001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000).

x smaller In this chart, the metre (m), gram (g), and litre (L) have a value of 1. Units of measurement to the right of the base unit are becoming smaller and smaller. Units of measure to the left of the base unit are becoming larger and larger. For example, given a metre we notice the following unit conversions to the right of the base unit:There are 10 dm in a
metre,Thus, 1 dm = 1/10 m =
0.1 mThere are 100 cm in a
metre,Thus, 1 cm = 1/100 m =
0.01 m
There are 1000 mm in a
metre,Thus, 1 mm = 1/1000 m =
0.001 m

Since the metric system of measurement is based on powers of ten (10) converting between units is a snap!PART A Ratio & Proportion Method
Example 1: Convert 1.74 m into cm.
To convert meters to centimeters we need to first identify the larger unit. Looking at the Metric System chart we notice that a centimeter is 100 times smaller than a meter.Thus, 1 m = 100 cm
Knowing this we can set up a proportion to convert 1.74 m into cm. Remember! A proportion is a comparison of two equal ratios in which order matters. On the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) of the proportion, list the ratio we know. On the Right Hand Side (R.H.S), list the ratio we are trying to find out. Solve for the unknown value using cross multiplication. ?ILI ?I 544quotesdbs_dbs3.pdfusesText_6[PDF] metro paris 5 decembre ratp
