Student Name:
I. Length Measurement
EXERCISE 1 – Measuring length using the meter
A dime and a meter stick have been used to determine the following:
How thick is one dime? 1 mm How thick would a stack of ten dimes be?
10
mm
How thick would a stack of one hundred dimes be?
100
mm
How thick would a stack of one thousand dimes be?
1,000
mm
Determine the height of each of the following stacks of dimes in metric units.
10 dimes =
10
millimeters (mm)
10 dimes =
1
centimeters (cm)
10 dimes = .1 decimeters (dm)
10 dimes = .01 meters (m)
