I am going to help you with metrics and measurement worksheet  and so if you get this I guess okay so the metrics and measurements okay if you look at the top of the worksheet you'll see a charge and it says basic unit shows gram liter and meter and then everything to the right of it are the gram leaders in meters cut into smaller pieces so a deci gram or deciliter a decimeter is just one tenth of a Sam or another way of saying it would be you would need 10 decigrams to equal 1 gram Cynthia's similar but you go over one more place on the decimal so it's a hundred centigram quotes one gram and then Milly same way  are you go for one more so it's 1,000 milligram equal one gram and then the micros the same way but it would be 1 million so it's 1 million micrograms in looks like a u equals 1 gram and on the way I you can tell is if you look the chart that tells you you know it's .1 of a gram or .01 of a gram or .00 1 of a gram or 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 1 of a gram or they also tell you this is 10 to the -6 of it's like you took a gram and cut it into a million pieces that's what one milligram would be and same with Millie you know this used to meter stick before so 1 m which is this the meter is equal to 100 centimeters which is also equal to a thousand millimeters which would also be equal to a million micrometers okay if we go play this way smaller smaller units little little or pieces go in this way is larger units and I don't hardly anyone take Deca or hecto but those are the first two which means you have 10 of 10 grams 10 liters or 10 meters hecto  meaning of 100 of them and then kilos the one that more common and that means you have a thousand so like a thousand grams would be 1 kilograms  or a thousand m equals 1 kilometer you probably heard that and then the last one they give you is Mega which means you have a million or something cuz if that's this is the we're going to use for down below to do from the practice problems and we'll do the first one  so the first one when it change color but who plays the number one is on the give you space a 35 ml and then convert that to deciliters okay I'm Jessie's right here this is Jesse and then we have Millie okay so we're going to use conversion the first one we're going to do is the Millie so Millie is 1000 milliliters equals 1 L so what were you using is conversion that takes us from where we're at back to the base unit this is the base unit and then from the base unit back to where we want to be with you store in Mille we're going to convert to the base unit and then from the base unit to the deci leader okay so then does he leader we have 10 deciliters equals 1 liter case we're going to use both those conversions and here we go to start you will change colors we put what the we're given first so that's 35 m readers draw a line and since we know we're going to do two conversions I draw a little longer line maybe not quite that long but okay and then draw a line down and then first since the number starts with a milliliter we need to look for which one has milliliter in it and there it is right there so we're going to use this conversion here 10 liters equals 1 liter or 1,000 ml for every 1 liter so 1000ml is going to go on the bottom because we want to cancel this unit and convert to liters and then eventually to do deciliters so 1000ml goes on the bottom and one liter goes on the top and what that means is one for every $1,000 or $1,000 for every leader and then we can cancel those military in it cuz they're diagnosed now we're converted to liters and we need to keep going cuz I got to get to deciliter so we use our other conversion that we wrote here one liter equals 10 deciliters so we have leadership top I want to put leaders on the bottom so one liter goes on the bottom and then the 10 deci leaders goes on the top and then what we're going to do until this is great because now our leaders are canceled and we just have Jesse later since just what we want and then we're going to multiply across the top  so 35 time 10 or 35 * 1 * 10 is 350 and then 1000 * 1 is 1000  the Nexus .35 deciliter so if we convert 35 ml to deciliters is .35 also notice  if you just look at the chart this was 10 this is a hundred thousand and to go from Mill suggest see you drop two zeros or move the decimal place over to and that's what we did here we went from 35 to .35 okay or I don't second one the second one's a little easier is blue we just have the one step conversion okay that's 950 G and we're converting that to kilograms we're just going to use the conversion 1000 grams equals 1 kilogram but here and hear this system version okay so it's just one of one step conversion so we just draw the line we need to get rid of the gram so we need to put the 1000 G on the bottom so that the units on the top and on the bottom diagonally are the same so we can cancel them and what's equal to 1000 time is 1kg so by putting the one kilogram above the 1000 G we're just multiplying 950 x once we haven't changed the amount we just the unit so 950 / 1,000 is .95 and then the unit is kilograms okay so that's how you do it you going to want to box your answer especially when start getting a little messy like this and make sure that the unit for your phone  numbers right next to them and clearly okay
