    hi!!! I bought your book because here in the USA we learn the imperial system. Anyway, I'm having trouble with a problem. The book is measurement units and conversions. it's an elementary book (yes, but I didn't learn metrics) anyway, the question is "a large apple weighs 0.18 kg. Joe ate 3/4 of it. How many grams of the apple did Joe eat. I think I'm going about doing it wrong. Like what method do I use to figure it out? Thanks

    Raju maths text book is 11mm and science test book is 1cm? convert mm into cm
    PLEASE GIVE THE ANSWER

    • @MathMammoth
      @MathMammoth  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Since 10 mm makes 1 cm, this means that 11 mm is 1 cm + 1 mm.

      2.54 cm equals 1 inch, and 2.2 pounds equals 1 kg - you can take it from there.....

    • @deborahcuster8142
      @deborahcuster8142 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      5 mm = 0.5 cm = 0.2 inches = 3/16 inches
      go here when you need to learn more to be ahead of the class.
      p.s.
      this is not cheating, this is learning at the sub [ otonic ] level.

    In metric countries, few people use prefixes other than micro, milli, kilo, and mega. The others are superfluous.

    • @deborahcuster8142
      @deborahcuster8142 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the video is done on a metric table. . . not an S.A.E. table. ( standard american european . . . standard american measurements ) or SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers and refers in this case to tools whose size is marked and aligned with fractions of an inch, eg. 3/8". This is as opposed to metric tools which are measured in millimetres.

  • @Sinista123
    @Sinista123 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    For distances:
    Centimeters (cm) and Millimeters (mm) outdoor and construction maybe also Meters (m)
    For Volume:
    Liters (L) and Milliliters (ml)
    For weight:
    Kilogramms (k) and Gramms (g)
    In Traffic:
    Kilometers (km) and Meters (m)
    Everything else like
    hecto, deka, deci and also tons are not used at all in every day live. This should be mentioned in school but it should never be part of a test.

    Millimeter to km:-(1 km is 1 million millimeter)
    ~2.4 km = 2.4 million millimeter. ~51.6 km = 51.6 million millimeter. ~0.0065 km = 6500 millimeter. ~0.058 km = 58000 millimeter.

  • @okaro6595
    @okaro6595 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nobody uses the term "kiloliter". That would be highly confusing as kilo is associated with the kilogram. A thousand liters is a cubic meter though we her call it just a cubic/cube.

    • @MathMammoth
      @MathMammoth  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It's true people don't use that term, but technically speaking "kiloliter" is correct. There are quite a few terms in the metric system that are not in common usage... e.g. hectometer or megagram or megaliter or gigavolt etc etc! It's just a system where you can put any of those prefixes on any of the basic units.

    • @horste9237
      @horste9237 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I totally agree with that. There are a lot of combinations that are not in practical use. But to explain that on a relatively early level would only make it unnecessary complicated.
      When it comes to weight we normally use grams and kg. The Mg is not in use, that is called "t" (=metric tonne but normally metric is not mentioned). As 1to is already heavy weight there are hardly ever suffixes added except when talking about nuclear weapons where kt, Mt and Gt are possible.
      In Germany the pound is still in use (1Pfund = 500g) especially when it comes to food but you will not find it in any official document. Same with the "Zentner Ztr = 100pounds = 50kg" which is often used in spoken but seldom in written language and never in official documents.
      The situation becomes a bit strange when it comes to the "Doppelzentner = 2Ztr = 100kg" which carries the unit "dt" (yes, it is a dezi tonne!) but I never heard anybody pronounce it as dezi tonne.
      You are also right with "GV = Giga Volts" simply because such voltages have never been observed. Technical use normally ends at kV.
      We use ml (=cm³) for small amounts of liquid, sometimes cl but mostly l (=dm³) but when it comes to higher amounts we switch to cubic meters (m³, somtimes written as "cbm"). It is helpful that dezi³ = 10³= 1000, so one m³ = 1000dm³ = 1000l.
      I guess that is already confusing enough :-) and I should end that now...

    Please teachers make it simple as Sesame street by explaining it like this :
    The US is ALREADY metric !! You just call it DOLLAR !! Metric is as easy as your MONEY !!
    Here we go: 1 Dollar = 100 cents ....so now you know metric , wow that was easy isn't it ??!!
    Here we go: 1 Meter = 100 centimeter. Just replace Dollar for meter..... and done.
    Make it smaller: 1 meter = 1000 millimeter
    Make it bigger: 1 KILO meter = 1000 meter. Just add "kilo" and remove "milli".
    Make it even more easy to visualize: 1 kilometer is about 10 American football fields long. ;-)
    Same is for volume, weight and temperature.
    A cubic shape of 10x10x10 centimeter makes a volume of 1 liter and 1 liter water weighs 1 kilo.
    A cubic shape of 1x1x1 meter makes 1 cubic meter.
    1 cubic meter makes a volume of 1000 liter, or filled with water 1000 kilo or 1 ton.
    Make it even more easy to visualize: a Ford F150 pickup truck weighs 2500 kilo (or 2,5 ton)
    Water freezes at 0 degree Celsius and boils at 100 degree Celsius.
    If the weatherman says a number with a - minus , you know it's cold . -10 is very cold and +30 is perfect beach weather.
    So how easy was this to understand ?!!
