How to do two step metric conversation

The metric prefixes are used to eliminate writing a bunch of zeroes - just like scientific notation. We typically pick the most convenient unit to report a value. And, the prefix must accompany a basic unit - meter, gram, liter, second or mole.

We frequently need to perform conversions from one metric prefix to another. We can use the formalism outline in module 0 if we use the table above to create conversion factors. Just remember that the size of the prefix substitutes for the prefix itself.

Explanation:

Example 1:

If a textbook weighs 1,100 g, the value should be reported as 1.1 kg since 1 kg = 1 x 103 g or 1000 g.

Example 2:

Write out all the conversion factors between meters and the prefixes combined with meters using the table above.

the dependant variable is spilled water

the independent is the heat

"record the time to complete a chemical reaction" would most likely be part of a lab procedure.
