SI The International System of Units, related by multiples of ten, that allows quantities to be measured in the exact same way throughout the world. La sistema internacional de unidades, relacionado por múltiplos de diez, que permite que las cantidades se midan de la misma manera exacta en todo el mundo

meter (m) metro (m) A SI unit for length or distance La unidad SI de longitud o distancia A meter is more than three inches longer than a yard = 39.4 in. = 36 in.

10 meters equal 1 dekameter (dam) dekameter (dam) decametro (dam)

10 multiples meters (m) are needed to move to the dekameter (dam) place

equals 1 dekameter (dam)

10 dekameters (dam) are equal to 1 hectometer (hm) hectometer (hm) hectometro (hm)

10 multiples dekameters (dam) are needed to move to the hectometer (hm) place

equals 1 hectometer (hm)

equals 1 hectometer (hm)

1 kilometer is a little more than half a mile (1 km = 0.62 miles) kilometer (km) kilometro (km)

10 multiples hectometers (hm) are needed to move to the kilometer (km) place

equals 1 kilometer (km)

equals 1 kilometer (km)

equals 1 kilometer (km)

liter (L) litro (L) A unit measuring volume or capacity Una unidad de volúmen o capacidad 1000 mL = 1 L mL = 1 qt. meniscus

Cubic meter (m 3 ) metro cubico (m 3 ) One cubic meter is equal to 1000L or 1 kL. It is the SI unit for measuring volume or capacity. Un metro cubico mide 1000 litros o 1 kL. Es la unidad SI de volumén o capacidad.

gram (g) gramo (g) A unit for mass Una unidad de masa 1 gram = 0.35 ounces = 1 gram = 5 grams

kilogram (kg) kilogramo (kg) A SI unit for measuring mass One kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. La SI unidad de masa Un kilogramo es igual que 1000 gramos. 1 kg = 2.2 pounds (lbs)

SI Prefixes for the Decimal System

Whole Units

uni (unit) one Examples: unit, unicorn, uniform

deka- or deca- (da) ten Examples: dekameter, decagon

hecto- (h) hundred Example : hectometer

kilo- (k) thousand Examples: kilogram, kiloliter, kilogram

mega- (M) million 1,000, Examples : megabytes, megamillions

giga- (G) billion 1,000,000, Example : gigabytes

tera- (T) trillion 1,000,000,000, Example : terabytes

peta- (P) quadrillion 1,000,000,000,000, Example : petabytes

exa- (E) quintillion 1,000,000,000,000,000, Example : exabytes

zetta- (Z) sextillion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000, Example : zettabytes

yotta- (Y) septillion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, Example : yottabytes
