Launch Launch What does the acronym Khdbdcm mean ?
Answer Answer KHDBDCM stands for King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk: Kilo, Hecto, Deka, Basic Unit, Deci, Centi, and Milli in order from greatest to least).
What you need to know What you need to know First things first, you need to understand the basics There are two systems of measurement US/Customary System which we use here Then there is the metric system which is used all over the world
Measurement Basics Measurement Basics Length: is the distance of something measured Volume/Capacity: how much something can hold ( generally liquid) Weight: how much something weighs Mass: how much space something takes up
US/Customary System US/Customary System The US/Customary system has many different units of measurement Each unit has a completely different name They also have completely different conversion factors
Metric System Metric System The metric system has base unit and many different prefixes
Metric Units of Metric Units of Measurement Measurement Meters: Measures length Liters: Measures volume or capacity Grams: measures weight/mass
Units of Measurement: Units of Measurement: Volume Volume US System Cups Pints Quarts Gallons Fluid Ounces Metric System Liters
Units of Measurement: Units of Measurement: Length Length US System Inches Feet Yards Miles Metric Meters
Units of Measurement: Units of Measurement: Weight/Mass Weight/Mass US System Ounce Pound Tons Metric Gram
Metric System Prefixes Metric System Prefixes Mili- 1/1000, which means that 1000mm=1m Centi- 1/100, which means that 100cg=1g Deci- 1/10, which means that 10dl=1l Deka- 10, which means that 1dkm=10m Hecto- 100, which means that 1hg=100g Kilo- 1000, which means that 1kl=1000l
US Conversions US Conversions Length 1 foot = 12 inches 1 yard = 3 feet 1 mile = 5,280 feet
US Conversions US Conversions Volume 1 cup = 8 fl oz 1 pint = 2 cups 1 quart = 2 pints 1 gallon = 4 quarts
US Conversions US Conversions Weight 1 lb = 16 oz 1 ton = 2000 lbs
