KILO 1000 Units CENTI 0.01 Unit MILLI 0.001 Unit Meters Liters Grams Ladder Method How do you use the “ladder” method? 1 st – Determine your starting point. 2 nd – Count the “jumps” to your ending point. 3 rd – Move the decimal the SAME number of jumps in the SAME direction. Ex: 4 km = _________ m 1 2 3 How many jumps does it take? Starting Point Ending Point 4. 1 __. 2 3 = 4000 m

Metric Calculations Common Measurement Conversions Common Measurement Conversions Length: 1 mile (mi)=5,280 feet (ft) 1 kilometer (km)=1,000 meters (m) 1 centimeter (cm)=10 millimeters (mm) 1 meter (m)= 39.38 inches (in) 1 inch(in)=2.54 centimeters (cm) Volume: 1 gallon (gal)=4 quarts (qt) 1 quart (qt)=0.95 liters (l) 1 quart (qt)=32 ounces (oz) Mass: 1 kilogram (kg)=2.2 pounds (lb) 454 grams (g)=1 pound (lb) 1 pound (lb)=16 ounces (oz)

Dimensional Analysis Method of calculation in conversions Method of calculation in conversions - Example 1: How many seconds are there in 2.3 days? Unit you want next goes on top Unit you want to cancel out goes on bottom

Conversion Factors Problems are given in this format: Problems are given in this format: A x B x D = F A x B x D = F C E C E To solve you enter it into the calculator as follows: To solve you enter it into the calculator as follows: A x B ÷ C x D ÷ E = F A x B ÷ C x D ÷ E = F General idea: every numerator value is multiplied and every denominator value is divided. General idea: every numerator value is multiplied and every denominator value is divided.

Scientific vs. Standard Notation Move decimal until number is between 1 and 10. Number of times moved is the exponent: Move decimal until number is between 1 and 10. Number of times moved is the exponent: Moved to the left: Positive Exponent Moved to the left: Positive Exponent Moved to the right: Negative Exponent Moved to the right: Negative Exponent Scientific Notation: Scientific Notation: 54=5.4 x 10 1 70,789=7.0789 x 10 4 0.0898=8.98 x 10 -2 Standard Notation: Standard Notation: 2.44 x 10 5 =244,000 7.053 x 10 -2 =0.07053 6.8 x 10 1 =68
