Metric Conversions


1. The problem is to complete unit conversion tables for Mass, Capacity, and Length. 2. Understand the metric system prefixes: kilo- = 1000, hecto- = 100, deka- = 10, deci- = 0.1, centi- = 0.01, milli- = 0.001. ### Measures of Mass - 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g) - 1 hectogram (hg) = 100 grams - 1 dekagram (dag) = 10 grams - 1 gram (g) = 1 gram - 1 decigram (dg) = 0.1 grams ### Measures of Capacity - 1 kiloliter (kL) = 1000 liters (L) - 1 hectoliter (hL) = 100 liters - 1 centiliter (cL) = 0.01 liters - 1 milliliter (mL) = 0.001 liters ### Measures of Length - 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m) - 1 hectometer (hm) = 100 meters - 1 dekameter (dam) = 10 meters - 1 decimeter (dm) = 0.1 meters This completes the table of conversions by associating each prefix with its multiplier relative to the base unit (gram for mass, liter for capacity, meter for length). Final answer: The conversion factors in the table are consistent with the metric prefixes: 1 hg = 100 g, 1 dag = 10 g, 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 dg = 0.1 g, 1 kL = 1000 L, 1 hL = 100 L, 1 cL = 0.01 L, 1 mL = 0.001 L, 1 km = 1000 m, 1 hm = 100 m, 1 dam = 10 m, 1 dm = 0.1 m.
