Qualitative Quantitative Units of Measure Descriptive Measurement (Non-numeric) The fact that the sky is blue Quantitative Measurement (Numeric) A sample of copper ore has a mass of 25.7 grams
Units of Measure Derived Units – combinations of base units Examples: Volume, Area, Density Volume = Length x width x height. Area = Length x width. Density = Mass / volume. Conversion Factors – Change one measurement into something easier to understand. Example – Inches to Feet.
Units of Measure Example 1 – Convert 22 000 g to kg Example 2 – Convert 0.029 0 m to millimeters Example 3 – How many seconds in 3.11 hours?
