METRIC SYSTEM UNITS OF LENGTH
ÞTo convert units of length in the metric system of measurementThe basic unit of length in the metric system is the meter. All units of length in the metric system are derived
from the meter. The prefix "centi-"means one hundredth.1 centimeter=1 one-hundredth of a meter
kilo-= 10001 kilometer (km)=1000 meters (m) hecto- = 1001 hectometer (hm)= 100 m deca-=101 decameter (dam)= 10 m1 meter (m)= 1 m
deci-= 0.11 decimeter (dm)= 0.1 m centi-= 0.011 centimeter (cm)= 0.01 m milli-= 0.0011 millimeter (mm)= 0.001 mConversion between units of length in the metric system involves moving the decimal point to the right or to
the left. Listing the units in order from largest to smallest will indicate how many places to move the decimal
point and in which direction. Example 1: To convert 4200 cm to meters, write the units in order from largest to smallest. km hmdammdmcmmmConverting cm to m requires moving42 .0 02 positions to the left.
Move the decimal point the same number of places
and in the same direction (to the left).So 4200 cm=42.00 m
A metric measurement involving two units is customarily written in terms of one unit. Convert the smaller unit
to the larger unit and then add.Example 2: To convert 8 km 32 m to kilometers
First convert 32 m to kilometers.
km hmdammdmcmmmConverting m to km requires moving
0 . 0 3 22 positions to the left.
32 = 0.032 kmMove the decimal point the same number of placesand in the same direction.
So 8 km 32 m =8 km +0.032 km
Add the result to 8 km
=8.032 kmÞTo solve application problemsExample 3:A piece measuring 142 cm is cut from a board 4.20 m long. Find the length of the
remaining piece. ¨ StrategyTo find the length of the remaining piece: ÞConvert the length of the piece cut (142 cm) in meters. km hmdammdmcmmm 1 . 4 2¨ Solution142 cm = 1.42 m
4.20 m + 142 cm = 4.20 m + 1.42 m
= 2.78 mThe length of the piece remaining is 2.78 m
