Week 6- Conversions within the SI (Metric) System

This week we learned a lot of different methods, as their is a couple different systems that you can convert to and when converting within there is also a couple different methods too. I chose to show you a method of conversions within the metric system because the units are related to each other by factors of ten this allows us to use a method with a number line. It can be difficult to know when to use which methods and how to know when to use what method but the good thing about using the metric system is that we use it in our day to day life here in Canada so if the unit isn’t recognizable you can automatically rule out the fact that it will be a conversion within a single system, instead you will have to use the exact units (not normally whole numbers) to convert to the imperial system. Down below I have shown you how to use one method- the number line to convert from unit to another within the metric system.
