SAMPLE ITEM

A. Before passing through the base unit

98.65 mm = ____________________ m
1m
98.65 mm= = 0.09865 m
0.001 mm
B. Passing through the base unit
98.65 mm = ____________________ km

98.65 mm= ( 0.0011 mmm )( 1000

1km
m)
=0.00009865 km

C. Application of Scientific Notation to Metric System Conversion

9.865x10-5 km = _______________mm

( )( )
3 −3
−5 1 x 10 m 1 x 10 mm
9.865 x 10 km= =98.65 mm
1 km 1m
Note: Just look at the corresponding exponential equivalence of the required metric prefixes using the given table
above.

V. ACTVITY PROPER
Note: The italicized item will apply the scientific notation method in converting the unit.

A. Conversion of Length
1. 239.10 μm = ________________ dam 4. 3.67x10-2 dm = ________________ mm
2. 7.9810 km = _________________Gm 5. 287.108 cm = ______________ μm
3. 876.986 nM = ________________ km
B. Conversion of Mass
1.38.10x105 kg = _______________ g 4. 541.950x10-7 Ng = ____________ dag
2. 0.00856 hg = ________________ cg 5. 3.7651 Mg = __________________ mg
3. 0.00000000076541 kg = _____ μ g
C. Conversion of Volume
1. 3.58 ML = ___________________ L 4. 8.981x10-7 GL = ______________ cL
