• A kilogram is 1000 grams
• A hectogram is 100 grams
• A decagram is 10 grams
• A gram is the stem unit of mass
• A decigram is 1/10 gram
• A centigram is 1/100 gram
• A milligram is 1/1000 gram

As we move down the units, the next unit is one tenth as heavy. As we move upward, each unit is 10 times as heavy. One hundred milligrams, which is 1/10 gram (100/1000=1/10) are heavier than one centigram (1/100th gram).

• A kilometer is 1000 meters
• A hectometer is 100 meters
• A decameter is 10 meters
• A meter is the basic unit of length
• A decimeter is 1/10 meter
• A centimeter is 1/100 meter
• A millimeter is 1/1000 meter

As we move down the units, the next unit is one tenth as long. As we move upward, each unit is 10 times as long. One hundred millimeters, which is 1/10 meter (100/1000=1/10) are larger than one centimeter (1/100th meter).

• A kiloliter is 1000 liters
• A hectoliter is 100 liters
• A decaliter is 10 liters
• A liter is the basic unit of volume
• A deciliter is 1/10 liter
• A centiliter is 1/100 liter
• A milliliter is 1/1000 liter

As we move down the units, the next unit is one tenth as large. As we move upward, each unit is 10 times as large. One hundred milliliters, which is 1/10 liter (100/1000=1/10) are larger than one centiliter (1/100th liter).

However, temperatures are still measured on the Fahrenheit scale in the U.S.Water freezes at 0^o Celsius and boils at 100^o Celsius which is a difference of 100^o. Water freezes at 32^o Fahrenheit and boils at 212^o Fahrenheit which is a difference of 180^o. Therefore each degree on the Celsius scale is equal to 180/100 or 9/5 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.How to convert Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit

• Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5.
• Add 32^o to adjust for the offset in the Fahrenheit scale.
• Example: convert 37^o C to Fahrenheit.
  37 * 9/5 = 333/5 = 66.6
  66.6 + 32 = 98.6^o F

There is a mental math method to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit. The ratio of 9/5 is equal to 1.8 and 1.8 is equivalent to 2 - 0.2How to convert Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit with mental math.

• Double the Celsius temperature (multiply by 2).
• Take 1/10 of this number (2 * 1/10 = 0.2) and subtract it from the number above.
• Add 32^o to adjust for the offset in the Fahrenheit scale.
• 
  
• Example: convert 37^o C to Fahrenheit.
  37 * 2 = 74
  74 * 1/10 = 7.4
  74 - 7.4 = 66.6
  66.6 + 32 = 98.6^o F
