Okay, so for this one, we are talking about converting between metric units. There's totally a shortcut for these, which I want to highlight on these couple things on the homework tonight. So, on the surface, we have 6.88 meters to centimeters.
This seems like a really intimidating thing. You've got to think, oh, there's 100 centimeters in a meter, and we have to convert that. It means we've got to go back to back. It's a trick. This is something that Mr. Ordini showed me.
The science teacher showed me this. It goes, King Henry died. Sorry, there's a little bit of noise in the room. King Henry died unexpectedly drinking chocolate milk.
Sorry about that. King Henry died unexpectedly drinking chocolate milk. This stands for kilometers, hectometers, decameters, your unit, which could be also m, g, or l, decimeters, centimeters, or millimeters.
So we're converting... From millimeters, sorry, we're converting from meters to centimeters. So I'm going to count how many spaces I'm going to move over.
I'm going one, two spaces from my M to my C. In this case, I'm going to move over two spaces to the right as well. Going one, two spaces to the right. So my final answer will be 688 centimeters. Next, I'm going to do it in black pen.
For my next one, I'm going, let's do number three, meters to millimeters. I'm going from my unit, my m, to my millimeter. I'm going one, two, three spaces to the right.
So I'm going to go one, two, three spaces to the right. Now I ran out of space, so I have to add a placeholder zero, 5,530 millimeters. Now, what if I have something that's kind of ridiculous, like number 11? I have. 5.76 kilograms to milligrams.
I have King Henry died unexpectedly drinking chocolate milk. I'm going to go from kilograms all the way to milligrams over here. So I'm going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 spaces to the right.
So I'm going to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 spaces to the right. I have 576, and then 1, 2, 3, 4 placeholder zeros. Now I add some commas to make sure it looks right. 5,760,000 milligrams. And one more.
Let's just do our meters to centimeters right here, number 13. 25.8 meters to centimeters. King Henry died unexpectedly drinking chocolate milk. I'm going meters as my unit to centimeters.
I'm going 1, 2 to the right. So I go 1, 2 to the right. I don't have anything there, so I have to add a placeholder 0. 2,580. centimeters. It makes total sense because there are more centimeters than meters.
Hopefully that helped them and will help you with your homework tonight. Have a good one.
