The Metric System WORKS IN HARMONY WITH LIFE ITSELF!

But first you take 10 of whatever you have handy.

Convenient Prefix attached in front of
base or derived unit of measure 
shows quantity, size or value
by 10, 100 and 1000.


WRITING IS EASY!

Symbols identify Prefix and base or derived
unit of measure together.
Symbols like cm (centimeter) or mL (milliliter)
or kg (kilogram) for example.

For most everyday purposes useful Prefixes
are
milli - 1 one thousandth (0.001)
from the base or derived unit of measure
•
centi - 1 one hundredth (0.01)
from the base or derived unit of measure
•
kilo - 1000 times as much as
the of the base or derived unit of measure
