HELP PLEASE.
I have touble with the Metric System and measuring.
You have posted multiple questions and received help. Your root problem you already know by acknowledging that you have trouble with the metric system. Providing more answers for you will not help you understand it. Here is the basic metric system.
kilo
hecta
deca
unit (grams, liter, second, meter, etc)
deci
centi
milli
To convert from one unit to another, just move the decimal point to the left or to the right. Move to the left if going UP the table and move the decimal to the right if going DOWN the table. For example, convert 22.0 mm to cm. Start with your pencil on mm, we go up the table so move the decimal one place to the left to change mm to cm. The answer is 2.2 cm.
Change 22 kg to grams. Place your pencil on kg, we go down to table to get to grams so move the decimal to the right 1 place to change to hg, 2 places to change to dkg, and a third place to change to grams; therefore, 22 kg = 22000 grams. I hope this helps get you started on the right path. Memorize the prefixes or practice so much that you don't need to memorize them. Here is a web site that lists all of the prefixes as approved by the IUPAC.

I'd be happy to help you with your questions about the Metric System and measuring. Let's go through each question one by one:
5. Volume is an object is how much ________ it takes up.
To find the answer, we need to know what unit of measurement is being used for volume. In the Metric System, volume is typically measured in liters (L) or cubic meters (m³). To determine the volume of an object, you need to measure its length, width, and height (or depth). Then, you multiply these dimensions together to calculate the volume.
6. When we measure the temperature of an object in the metric system, we use _______
Temperature in the Metric System is measured using the Celsius (°C) scale. Celsius uses degrees and sets 0°C as the freezing point of water and 100°C as the boiling point of water.
7. Scientist say that measuring mass of an object means measuring how much matter something has. What is matter?
Matter refers to anything that takes up space and has mass. It includes everything that we can see, touch, or feel. Examples of matter include objects, substances, and particles such as atoms and molecules. Mass is a property of matter and represents the amount of material in an object.
8. You are a space traveler and you go visit another galaxy, where the force of gravity is 10 times the force of gravity on Earth.
-If you weigh 150 lbs, how much will you weigh in this other galaxy?
-How will your mass be affected?
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. In this case, since the force of gravity in the other galaxy is 10 times stronger than on Earth, your weight would also be 10 times greater. Therefore, if you weigh 150 lbs on Earth, you would weigh 150 x 10 = 1500 lbs in the other galaxy. However, your mass would remain the same. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of gravity.
9. The base unit for measuring mass in the metric system is ________
The base unit for measuring mass in the Metric System is the gram (g). Other common units for mass include the kilogram (kg), which is equal to 1000 grams, and the milligram (mg), which is equal to 0.001 grams.
10. What does the prefix "kilo" mean? ________
The prefix "kilo" in the Metric System indicates multiplication by 1000. For example, a kilogram (kg) is equal to 1000 grams (g), and a kilometer (km) is equal to 1000 meters (m).
11. What does the prefix "milli" mean? ________
The prefix "milli" in the Metric System indicates division by 1000. For example, a milligram (mg) is equal to 0.001 grams (g), and a millimeter (mm) is equal to 0.001 meters (m).
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
