Solution
•2 + (2÷2)
•2 + 1 = 3

Measurement: The Metric System
Lesson 1-8
![Page 4: Brain Teaser How can the numbers 2 2 2 be arranged to equal 3? Hint: think order of operations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5515917e55034674578b59cf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Metric System• The metric system is based on a unit
that corresponds to a certain kind of measurement
• Length = meter• Volume = liter• Weight (Mass) = gram
• Prefixes plus base units make up the metric system – Example:
• Centi + meter = Centimeter• Kilo + liter = Kiloliter

•So if you needed to measure length you would choose meter as your base unit–Length of a tree branch–Length of a room –Length of a table

•But what if you need to measure a longer distance, like from your house to school?
– Instead of measuring in meters, we would use kilometers.
–Kilometers are larger units used to measure longer distances.

Metric System• The three prefixes that we will use
the most are:– kilo– centi– milli
kilo hecto deca
Base Units
metergramliter
deci centi milli

How do we remember the order?

• These prefixes are based on powers of 10. What does this mean?–From each prefix every “step” is either:•10 times larger
or•10 times smaller

– Centimeters are 10 times larger than millimeters so it takes more millimeters for the same length
– 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters

• An easy way to move within the metric system is by moving the decimal point one place for each “step”
Example: change meters to centimeters
kilo hecto deca
meterliter
gram
deci centi milli
It takes 2 moves to get from meters to centi. So we move the decimal 2 places.

Metric System• If you move to the left in the diagram,
move the decimal to the left
• If you move to the right in the diagram, move the decimal to the right

meterliter
gram
deci centi milli

• Now let’s try an example.152.7 meters = _____ kilometers
kilo hecto deca
meterliter
gram
deci centi milli
So for every “step” from the base unit to kilo, we move the decimal 1 place
to the left (the same direction as in the diagram
below) 152.7 meters = .1527 kilometers

•Now let’s start from centimeters and convert to kilometers
400000 centimeters =______ kilometersMove the decimal 5 places to the left.400000 centimeters = 4.00000

• Now let’s start from meters and convert to centimeters
5 meters = ______centimeters

Metric System• Summary
– Base units in the metric system are meter, liter, gram
– Metric system is based on powers of 10– For conversions within the metric system,
each “step” is 1 decimal place to the right or left
– Move the decimal to the right or the left the same number of spaces on the diagram.
