Theory

Units of Measurement

The following prefixes are used when making measurements

  • milli – 1000 times smaller
  • centi – 100 times smaller
  • kilo – 1000 times larger
  • mega – 1 000 000 times larger

When we talk about centimetres, we are actually talking about a distance that is 100 times smaller than a metre. When we talk about kilograms, we are talking about a weight that is 1000 times heavier than a gram. When we talk about millilitres, we are talking about a measurement that is 1000 times smaller than 1 litre. Note: 1 tonne is 1 000 000 grams or 1 megagram
