Overview

In this chapter, we learn about the metric system of measurement used to measure length, mass, and capacity. We understand how different units are related to each other and how to convert between them using multiplication and division by powers of 10. We also learn to perform addition, subtraction,

Key Concepts

The standard unit for length

The standard unit for length is metre (m), for mass is gram (g), and for capacity is litre (L). These are the base units in the metric system.

Prefixes like kilo

Prefixes like kilo-, hecto-, deca-, deci-, centi-, and milli- are added to standard units to show larger or smaller measurements. For example, kilogra

To convert from a smaller unit

To convert from a smaller unit to a larger one, divide by 10, 100, or 1000. To convert from a larger unit to a smaller one, multiply by 10, 100, or 10

We can add

We can add, subtract, multiply, and divide metric measures by first converting them into the same unit using decimal notation and then performing the
