METRIC SYSTEM UNITS OF LENGTHTo convert units of length in the metric system of measurement The basic unit of length in the metric system. All units of length in the metric system are derivedone hundredth1 centimeter=1 one-hundredth of a meter=10001 kilometer (km)1000 meters (m)hecto-=1001 hectometer (hm)=100 m=10 m=1 m=0.1=0.1 m=0.01=0.01 m=0.0011 millimeter (mm)=0.001 mConversion between units of length in the metric system involves moving the decimal point tothe right or to. Listing the units in order from largest to smallest will indicate how many places to move the decimal To convert 4200 cm to meters, write the units in order from largest to smallest.kmhmConverting cm to m requires moving 002 positions to the leftMove the decimal point the same number of placesand in the same direction (to the left).So 4200 cmA metric measurement involving two unitsis customarily writtenin terms of one unit. Convert the smaller unit To convert 8 km 32 m to kilometersFirst convert 32 m to kilometers.kmhmConverting m to km requires moving 0 322 positions to the left.32 = 0.032 kmMove the decimal point the same number of placesSo 8 km 32 m=0.032 km8.032 km To solve application problems Example 3 piece measuring 142 cm is cut from a boaFind the length ofremaining piece. To find the length of the remaining piece:Convert the length of the piece cut (142 cm) in meters.kmhm 4 2Solution The length of the piece remaining is 2.78 m To solve application problems Example 3 piece measuring 142 cm is cut from a boaFind the length ofremaining piece. To find the length of the remaining piece:Convert the length of the piece cut (142 cm) in meters.kmhm 4 2Solution The length of the piece remaining is 2.78 m Math 0300 Student Learning Assistance Center - San Antonio College 2 METRIC SYSTEM UNITS OF LENGTHTo convert units of length in the metric system of measurement The basic unit of length in the metric system.
