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 = 1 m
Centimeter (cm) 100 cm = 1 m
Meter (m) base unit (1)

Kilometer (km) 1000 m =
1
km
Weight

Milligrams (mg) 1000 mg = 1 g
Grams (g) base unit (1)

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

Volume

Milliliters (mL) 1000 mL = 1 L

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

Each of these prefixes would go in front of a base unit. Take, for example, length. The base unit for length is the
meter. However, we could put a larger prefix, like kilo, in front of it: kilometer (km). Now, it means 1000 meters,
because kilo means 1000. We could also put a smaller prefix on it, such as centimeter (cm). Now, it means 1/100 of
a meter, or .01 meter.
You also might notice that all of the metric prefixes are multiples of 10 (1, 10, 100, 1000, etc). This makes
converting from one to the other far easier than English measures, because you are always multiplying or dividing by
10; remember, multiplying and dividing by 10 simply involves moving the decimal.
