By Jane Horlings
The Metric System
• English system = American Standard System– Difficult to use, memorize
The Metric System
• Metric system= based on the power of 10– Easier to use, memorize
The Metric System
Base Units:• gram
– weight (mass)• meter
– length• liter
– volume(or cubic measurement)
The Metric System
• kilo- 1000 of it
UNIT• centi- 100th of it• milli-1000th of it
The Metric System
Weight: gram
• kilogram (kg)• gram (g)• milligram (mg)
The Metric System
Length: meter
• kilometer (km)• meter (m)• centimeter (cm)• millimeter (mm)
The Metric System
Volume: liter
• liter (L)• milliliter (mL)
The Metric System
Volume
• cubic centimeter
(cc or cm3)
The Metric System
