you.
Guide Questions:
In this activity, you are reminded of the different base units of each physical
quantities and items or objects that are readily accessible and being measured
reliably.

WHAT’S NEW
Activity. Read the following situation carefully. Answer the questions that follow.
Lea wanted to sell Pork Caldereta according to her grandmother’s recipe. She
asked her mother the exact measurement of each ingredient like how much salt
would she add to the menu, etc. Her mother told her that she had only
estimated them. So, Lea got tablespoon, teaspoon, measuring cup and scale.
She measured the quantity before her mother added them to the cooking pot.
She observed that her recipe were consistent in taste.

WHAT IS IT

Moreover, the fundamental SI units of meter, kilogram and second, used other
units as well such as milliliters and nanoseconds where the prefixes like milli and nano
denote multipliers of the basic units based on various powers of ten. Prefixes for the
various powers of ten and abbreviation are listed in the Table below.
Power of Ten Abbreviation
yotta 1024 Y
zetta 1021 Z
exa 1018 E
peta 1015 P
tera 1012 T
giga 109 G
mega 106 M
kilo 103 K
hecto 102 H
deca 10 Da
deci 10-1 D
centi 10-2 C
milli 10-3 M
micro 10-6 Mu
Nano 10-9 N
Pico 10-12 P
Femto 10-15 F
Atto 10-18 A
Zepto 10-21 Z
Yotto 10-24 Y
With these abbreviations for the fundamental quantities, SI can also be called
MKS system. A decided advantage of this system is the use of powers of ten.

Length
When measuring length, the relation between metric and standard units looks
like this:
0.039 in 1 millimeter
3.28 ft 1m
1 in 2.54 cm
1 mi 1.609 km
Here, you can see that 1 millimeter is equal to .039 inches and 1 inch is equal
to 25.4 millimeters.
Time
When measuring time, equivalents for each look like:
60 s 1 min
60 min 1h
24 h 1 day
7 days 1 week
4 wks. 1 month
12 months 1 yr.
52 weeks 1 year
1s 1,000 milliseconds
12
Volume
When measuring volume, the relation between metric and standard units
similarly looks like this:
English Units SI Units
0.03 fl oz 1 mL
2.1 pints 1L
1.06 qt 1L
0.26 gal 1L
Metric Units and their Equivalents
1,000 mL = 1 L 1000 L = 1 m3
1 cm3 = 1mL 1 hectoliter (hL) = 100 L
1 kiloliter = 1,000 L
It is important to note that in science, the metric units of grams and kilograms
are always used to denote the mass of an object rather than its weight.
Temperature
In predominantly metric countries the standard unit of temperature is degrees
Celsius while in countries with only limited use of the metric system, such as the
United States, degrees Fahrenheit is used. This chart shows the difference between
Fahrenheit and Celsius:
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: 0F = 0C 1.8 + 32
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you do the opposite 0C = 0F – 32 / 1.8.
13
There are different ways of expressing the dimension of each fundamental
quantities such as for distance, it can be measured in feet, meters etc. Sometimes, it
is necessary to convert units from one measurement system to another or convert
within a system (for example, from kilometers to meters). A conversion factor is
needed to convert a measurement in one set of units to the same measurement in
another units.
How do you do unit conversion problems?
Some important points to consider:
1. Write the conversion as a fraction (that equals one)
2. Multiply it out (leaving all units in the answer)
3. Cancel any units that are both top and bottom.
Example: 1. Suppose you wish to convert 15.0 inches to centimeters.
Because 1 inch is defined as exactly 2.54 cm, therefore:
Note:
14
Let us solve the following:
5 kg x 1000g__ = 5000 g
1kg
5. How many degrees Celsius is 48-degree Fahrenheit?
0C = (0F – 32) / 1.8
(68 - 32) / 1.8
= 20 0C
15
Sometimes number tends to be very small and large. There is now a
difficulty of reading and writing such numbers. Thus, an exponential form of writing
them is introduced.
