IV. PROCEDURES
Object
To convert hectometer to decimeter, count the spaces from hm to dm, and move
km
cm
hm
mm
dam m dm the decimal point in the same direction as many spaces as indicated in the
diagram.
Example:
1. 5.4321 hm = 5432.1 dm
2. 0.985 km = 985 m
Similarly, move 5 spaces to the left or 5 decimal places to the left to convert centimeter to kilometer. The
number of spaces corresponds to the powers of ten needed to convert one unit to another.
Example1: How many yards are in 15 feet? There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so the conversion ratio is
Since the given measurement was multiplied by conversion factors which are equal to 1, only the unit was
converted but the given length was not changed
3. 3 yd = ________ in
4. 3 mi = ________ft
5. 6 ft = ________ in
The first factor can easily be developed through constant practice while the second factor is totally dependent
upon the measuring device.
Vocabulary:
Meter – the fundamental unit of length in the metric system.
Metric System – it is a decimal system of measurement where multiples and fractions of the basic unit
correspond to powers of ten.
Length - the distance from one end to the other of the longest side of an object.
Context: The length of the swimming pool is 12 meters and its width is 5 meters
Approximate - fairly close to the actual but not accurate.
Context: Kim’s mother estimated that her approximate height is 5 feet.
Estimate - to make a rough or approximate calculation.
Context: The sewer estimated that the curtain for the window must be 2 meters in length
Exact - accurate, precise
Context: The carpenter used a steel tape measure to obtain an exact measurement of the floor
Points to remember in converting units:
1. Determine the large unit and the small unit.
2. Multiply when converting from large unit to small unit.
Divide when converting from a small unit to a large unit.
Use the conversion factor.

I. Evaluating learning Compare each pair of measurements using <, > or =.
1. 1 m ___ 10 dm
2. 1 dm ___ 1 dam
3. 5 ft ____ 60 in
4. 2 000 cm ____2 m
5. 1 mi _____ 2 km
