ChemistryChapter 16: Empirical Data Collection and Analysis
Smaller Than One
Deci, centi, and milli make a unit smaller.
Learning objectives
- Define and explain smaller than one.
- Apply smaller than one to a focused FBISE question.
- Check the answer for correct terms, evidence, working, and units.
Definition
Deci, centi, and milli make a unit smaller. 1 m = 100 cm. 10 mm = 1 cm. 350 cm = 3.5 m because you divide by 100.
Mathematical form
m = 100 cm. 10 mm
cm = 3.5 m because you divide by 100.
Important terms
- Smaller Than One
- Deci, centi, and milli make a unit smaller. 1 m = 100 cm. 10 mm = 1 cm. 350 cm = 3.5 m because you divide by 100.
Relationship
- 1 m = 100 cm
- 10 mm = 1 cm
- 350 cm = 3.5 m
Overview
Learn the idea, then use it:
Core Understanding
Deci, centi, and milli make a unit smaller. 1 m = 100 cm. 10 mm = 1 cm. 350 cm = 3.5 m because you divide by 100.
Examples 1 m = 100 cm · 10 mm = 1 cm · 350 cm = 3.5 m · SMALLER THAN ONE: Deci, centi, and milli make a unit smaller. 1 m = 100 cm. 10 mm = 1 cm. 350 cm = 3.5 m because you divide by 100.
Exam Application
State the correct term, connect it to the chapter rule or evidence, and use a clear example or calculation.
