Measurement/Temperature Conversion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mega | 1,000,000 |
| Kilo | 1,000 |
| Hecto | 100 |
| Deca | 10 |
| Unit | 1 |
| Centi | 1 hundredth |
| Milli | 1 thousandth |
| Micro | 1 millionth |
| For example, millimeter= | one thousandth of a meter, decameter |
| Converting it into hectograms is the same as dividing by 100 (one hectogram) = | 100 grams |
| To convert from one unit to the other you need to | know what the difference is. |
| to convert 5 kilograms into milligrams you need to know the difference between | a kilogram and a milligram. |
| As kilo is the prefix meaning 1,000 and milli is the prefix for one thousandth then the difference is a million (1000 x 1000) so 5 kilograms is the same as | 5 million milligrams. |
| 108,960 grams converted into decagrams is the same as dividing by | 10 (one decagram = 10 grams). |
| Converting it into hectograms is the same as dividing by 100 (one hectogram = | 100 grams) and so on. |
| Mass | kilogram kg |
| Length | meter m |
| Time | second s |
| Temperature | Kelvin K |
| Amount of Substance | mole mol |
| mega | M 1,000,000 |
| kilo | k 1,000 |
| hecto | h 100 |
| deka | da 10 |
| deci | d 0.1 |
| centi | c 0.01 |
| milli | m 0.001 |
| micro | m 0.000001 |
| nano | n 0.000000001 |
| Formula for conversion from celsius to fahrenheit: | F = ((9/5) * C) + 32 |
| Formula for conversion from fahrenheit to celsius: | C = (5/9)*(F-32) Where C = temperature in degrees Celsius and F = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit |
| millimeters | mm |
| centimeters | cm |
| inches | in |
| meters | m |
| feet | ft |
| kilometers | km |
| miles | miles |
| 1 Millimeter (mm) = | 0.0394 in |
| 1 Meter (m) = | 1.0936 yds. |
| 1 Kilometer (km) = 1000m = | 0.6214 miles |
| 1 Inch = | 25.400 m.m. |
| 1 Yard = 36 inches = | 0.9144 m. |
| 1 Millimeter (mm) = | 0.0394 in |
| 1 Meter (m) = | 1.0936 yds. |
| 1 Kilometer (km) = 1000m = | 0.6214 miles |
| 1 Inch = | 25.400 m.m. |
| 1 Yard = 36 inches = | 0.9144 m. |
| 1 Mile = 1.760 yards = | 1.6093 km. |
