  1. Patterns in Measurement Systems Converting in and between the Metric and Customary Systems

  2. The Customary System

  3. Length 12 in = 1 ft 3 ft = 1 yd 1760 yd = 1 mi × 12 × 3 × 1760 in ft yd mi ÷ 12 ÷ 3 ÷ 1760

  4. Capacity 8 fl oz = 1 c 2 c = 1 pt 2 pt = 1 qt 4 qt = 1 gal × 8 × 2 × 2 × 4 fl oz c pt qt gal ÷ 8 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 ÷ 4

  5. Weight 16 oz = 1 lb 2000 lb = 1 T × 16 × 2000 oz lb T ÷ 16 ÷ 2000

  6. 60 sec = 1 min Time 60 min = 1 hr 24 hr = 1 d 7 d = 1 wk × 60 × 60 × 24 × 7 × 52 sec min hr day wk yr ÷ 60 ÷ 60 ÷ 24 ÷ 7 ÷ 52 ÷ 60

  7. The Metric System

  8. The metric system measures length, mass and capacity. • length meters • mass grams • capacity liter length mass capacity

  9. Metric System Prefixes. • kilo- 1,000 • hecto- 100 • deka- 10 • unit 1 • deci- 0.1 • centi- 0.01 • milli- 0.001

  10. × 1,000 × 100 × 10 km m cm mm ÷ 1,000 ÷ 100 ÷ 10 Conversion Shortcut. • Write this down!

  11. kilo- hecto- deka- unit deci- centi- milli- move the decimal to the right as you go down. move the decimal to the left as you go up.

  12. Conversions • If you go up on the chart the decimal will go to the left. • If you go down on the chart the decimal will go to the right.
