Q Question 1 0.5 / 0.5 pts The metric system is based on units of measurement that are all factors of 10. For our class, we will be using units smaller than 1 meter. 1 meter is divided into 10 decimeters, decimeters are divided into 10 centimeters, centimeters are divided into 10 millimeters. You can use your ruler or look at the image below of part of a centimeter ruler. Question 2 0.5 / 0.5 pts One thing we will need to do a lot this semester is convert units. Converting units means changing a length we've measured in centimeters into the equivalent length in millimeters. So if my hand is 10 centimeters wide, I can convert to millimeters and report that my hand is also 100 millimeters wide. It is the same distance, just reported in different units of measurement. 1 cm = 10 mm • If you have 5 cm and want to know how many millimeters that is, you multiple 5 cm x 10 mm = 50 mm. • If you have 50 mm and want to know how many cm, you divide by 50 mm by 10 mm = 5 cm. If I have a credit card that is 8.6 cm long, how many mm long is it? You should be precise to the nearest millimeter...don't round to the nearest centimeter. Question 3 0.5 / 0.5 pts A push pin for your bulletin board is 2.4 cm long. How long is this pushpin in millimeters (mm)? Question 4 0.5 / 0.5 pts A pushpin that is 32 mm long is how many cm long?
