    Common Metric Measures


    The metric system is also divided into different categories of measurement, but it has a base unit for each category.
    A base unit means that that is what the category is usually (but not always) measured in, and all the other terms of
    measurement in that category are built from the base unit.

    Distance

    Millimeter (mm) 1000 mm =1m


    Centimeter (cm) 100 cm =1m

    Meter (m) base unit (1)

    1
    Kilometer (km) 1000 m =
    km

    Weight

    Milligrams (mg) 1000 mg =1g

    Grams (g) base unit (1)

    Kilograms (kg) 1000g = 1 kg, 1000 kg = 1 t

    Metric ton (t) 1000 kg =1t

    Volume

    Milliliters (mL) 1000 mL =1L

    Liters (L) base unit (1)

    Temperature

    Degrees Celsius (°C)

    Speed

    Meters per second (m/s)

    Universal Measures
    Time

    Seconds (sec) 60 sec = 1 min

    Minutes (min) 60 min = 1 hr

    Hours (hr) 24 hr = 1 day

    Days 7 days = 1 wk

    Weeks (wk) (about) 4 wk = 1 mo

    Months (mo) 12 mo = 1 yr

    Years (yr) 1 yr = 365 days

    Decades 1 decade = 10 yr

    Centuries 1 century = 100 yr

    Millennium 1 millennium = 1000 yr

    Metric Prefixes
    There are metric prefixes that you should memorize in order to help you determine metric measurements. They are,
    from smallest to largest:
    Nano n 10^-9 0.000000001 1/1000000000

    Micro u 10^-6 0.000001 1/1000000

    Milli m 10^-3 0.001 1/1000

    Centi c 10^-2 0.01 1/100

    Deci d 10^-1 0.1 1/10

    Base unit - - - -

    Deka da 10 10

    Hecto h 10^2 100

    Kilo k 10^3 1000

    Mega M 10^6 1000000

    Giga G 10^9 1000000000

    Tera T 10^12 1000000000000
