Measurement Conversions Metric System Prefixes kilo - 1 000 hector deca - 100 10 deci - 0. 1 tera - 1 000 000 centi - 0. 01 giga - 1 000 000 milli 0. 001 mega - 1 000 -

Length ÷ mm 10 ÷ cm x 100 ÷ m x 1000 km x Mass ÷ mg 1000 x ÷ kg 1000 x t

Time ÷ seconds 60 x ÷ minutes 60 x ÷ hours 24 x days

1 hectare = 1 ha = 10 000 m 2 100 metres 1 km 2 x 100 = ha

1 litre = 1000 cm 3 1 Litre = 1000 m. L 1 cm 3 = 1 m. L

Linear measurements • • 1 micron (nm) = 1 x 10 -6 metre 1 nanometre (µm) = 1 x 10 -9 metre 1 picometre (pm) = 1 x 10 -12 metre 1 femtometre (fm) = 1 x 10 -15 metre

1 micron (nm) = 1 x 10 -6 metre • • 1 micron (nm) = 1 x 10 -6 metre 1 nanometre (µm) = 1 x 10 -9 metre 1 picometre (pm) = 1 x 10 -12 metre 1 femtometre (fm) = 1 x 10 -15 metre Linear measurements

Linear measurements The other way • 1 metre = 1 x 10 -6 megametre (Mm) or 1 megametre = 1 000 metres • 1 metre = 1 x 10 -9 gigametre (Gm) or 1 gigametre = 1 000 000 metres • 1 metre = 1 x 10 -12 terametre (Tm) or 1 terametre = 1000 000 metres
