Hi this is Mrs. phone here, and today we're gonna look at metric conversions using the latter method and there's a little mnemonic down here King Henry died by drinking chocolate milk and this is a way to remember metric prefixes, so we have King K Henry H died by drinking chocolate milk so that saying kind of helps us remember this kilo Hector Dena base deck cent and mill and these are units used in the metric system and the idea is just the word kilo is a prefix it comes at the beginning the word like a kilo gram or a killer meter kilometer and all the word kilo means is 1,000 units so if I said I went to the store, and it took me a kilo second that means it took me 1,000 seconds a Hector second is 100 seconds if DECA second is ten seconds a millisecond is a thousandth of a second, so these are just prefixes that go on the beginning of the word, and they help us identify values using the metric or the standard international system um they are for base units that we're going to use this base unit 1 meter 1 liter gram and second they all go here, and we're just going to do some conversions using the ladder method I guess the idea if we want to convert between centimeters and meters using this ladder method there are some arrows here when you're going down think of these as steps when you're going down these steps the decimal moves to the right when you're going up the steps the decimal moves to the left and let's just do an example to see what we mean the first one we want to convert 155 centimeters to meters, so we have 155 centimeters to meters centimeters are going to be here, so we're starting here, and we want to convert into regular meters and meter is going to be a base unit, so we're going to end here, so we got to go up one step two steps we went up to steps to the two-step, so the decimal has to move two places to the left, so I have one point one fifty-five and there is an assumed decimal right here it's going to move one two places so one hundred and fifty-five centimeters is 1.55 meters and that's how we do that conversion you just count the number of steps, and you move the decimal in the appropriate direction and let's try another one let's try 25 kilometers to meters, so we have 25 kilometers and again there is a decimal right here right at some decimal 25 kilometers and kilos up here, so we have 25 kilometers we want to go into meters and again meter is a base unit, so we're going down to the base we don't always have to go to the base but in this case we are, and we're going down one two three steps, so the decimal has to move to the right three places, so this decimal has to move over one two three places right there I have to put in my zeroes, so we see that 25 25 kilometers equals it sorry that's drawn messy is equal to 25 thousand meters and that makes sense because one kilo meter is a thousand meters so if you have 25 kilometers you have 25 thousand meters or kilometers um let's do one that's not a base unit this one we're...
