Metric System and Metric Conversions

Metric System based on tens Prefixes before Standard represent > or < ONE. Convert measurements by moving decimal place. Standards are meter, liter, gram http://www.flickr.com/photos/draml/2963125435/

Units of the Metric System Prefix kilo hecto deka standard deci centi milli Abrev. k h dk (or D) m L g d c Value 1,000 100 10 1 0.1 or 1/10 0.01 or 1/100 0.001 1/1,000

Just Remember… King Henry Died Slurp! Drinking Chocolate Milk (kilo) (hecto) (Deka) Standard (deci) (centi) (milli) (l, m, g) **Start at 1,000 (kilo) then move down a tens place each time remembering your standard always equals one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/29487767@N02/3110726949/

Metric Conversions Your measurement does not change, only the unit. 1,000 meters = 1 kilometer. It is still the same distance. 0.001 gram = 1 milligram. It is still the same mass.
