The Metric System

 

A 40 kg bag of concrete mix
requires a strong back
to carry.

 

 

Smaller Measurements from a kilogram

1 gram
(1 g)

Remember, kilo is the prefix meaning
1000 times.
So, 1 000 g (grams) is the mass of
1 kg (kilogram).
Pronounced "KILL-oh-gram" NOT "kill-AH-gram".

Smaller Measurements from a gram

1 milligram
(1 mg)

Remember, milli is the prefix meaning
1 one thousandth (0.001).
So, 1 one thousandth of the unit measure gram
being 1 milligram, is simply written 1 mg

Larger Measurement from a kilogram


(1 tonne)
(1 t)

There are exactly 1000 kg (kilograms)
in 1 t (spelled tonne)
