Chapter 3 Measurements/Math Review
A. Measurement/Conversions – Basic unit is meter, others either fractions or multiples of Metric Unit Abbreviation Equal To Millimeter mm 1/1000 m Centimeter cm 1/100 m Kilometer km 1000 m
Millimeters – used in construction drawings 1 inch = 25. 4 millimeters 12 inches = 304. 8 millimeters 1 yard = 914. 4 millimeters 39. 37 inches = 1000 millimeters (1 meter)
B. Math Review Fractions – 2 Numerator 3 Denominator Proper Fraction – 2/3 Numerator less than Denominator Improper Fraction – 4/3 Numerator greater than Denominator
Mixed Number – 22 2/3 A whole number together with a fraction Adding and Subtracting Fractions Requires least common denominator, changing mixed numbers to fractions Multiplying Fractions – Changing to improper fractions, multiply denominators, numerators and reduce
Dividing Fractions – Change to improper fraction, invert divisor and multiply 5 ¼ divided by 1 ½ = 21 divided by 3 = 21 x 2 = 4 2 4 3 = 42 = 3 6 = 3 1/2 12 12
Decimals 3/10 = 0. 3 Tenths 87/100 = 0. 87 Hundreds 375/1000 = 0. 375 Thousands 4375/10, 000 = 0. 4375 10 Thousands
Areas Squares/Rectangles = length x width Triangles = ½ b. H
Circles Diameter – Line through center Circumference – Distance around circle Radius - ½ Diameter Volume = area (plan) x depth
