8. Metric To English Conversions
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
Example:
Convert 12 cm to inches
Convert 7 meters to yards

9. Metric To English Conversions Practice
8.6 km = ________________ mi
840 cm = ________________ yd
87 mm = ________________ ft
301 m = ________________ ft
19 km = ________________ yd

10. English To Metric Converions
9 in = ________________ mm
850 ft = ________________ cm
76 yd = ________________ cm
36 in = ________________ m
393 yd = ________________ m

11. Scientific Notation Used for very small or very large numbers
A short of shorthand
Example:
4, 567, 00 = x 106
= x 10-8

12. Standard Notation To Scientific Notation
For large numbers (>10) count the number of places from right to left, and place the decimal between first and second number
For small numbers (<10) count the number of places between the decimal and the first number not a zero

13. Standard Notation To Scientific Notation
1, 000, 000 = _________________
1, 000, 000, 000 = _________________
0.001 = _________________
= _________________
17, 650, 000, 001 = _________________

14. Scientific Notation To Standard Notation
For a positive exponent, count the number on the exponent that many places to the right and fill in any spaces with zeros
For a negative exponent, count the number on the exponent to the left and fill in any spaces with zeros

15. Scientific Notation To Standard Notation
7.58 x 102 = ___________________
1.31 x 10-2 = ___________________
9.588 x 106 = ___________________
x 10-5 = ___________________
83.14 x 10-3 = ___________________
