Metric Unit Prefix Conversions: How to Convert Metric System Prefixes | Crash Chemistry Academy

Thank you so much. This explanation is the most easiest and quickest. I really do appreciate. Would not have understood this if it weren't for you.

Thank u

This is how I do prefix conversions:
A = current prefix
B = desired prefix
M = multiplier (area = 2, volume = 3)
P = prefix multiplier
Then for the equation I do:
(-M)*((B)-(A)) = P
So if I want cm^2 to dm^2, here is what I insert into the equation:
(-2)*((-1)-(-2)) = -2, So than I just mulitply my prefix multiplier and change to desired prefix
prefix multiplier in this case would be 10^-2 or scientific notation 1E-2

thank you dawg

i was really confused on these prefixes thanks for the help man.

do we always subtract the smaller prefix from the larger prefix

Thank you so much it was stuck in my head since years now

Why is 10 -6 instead of 10 7 in the answer? Please

Where is decameter

I got lost when you got 10 to the power of 4 that made no sense to me. Guess ill find another way

Thank you for your time, sir.

Delaying on your Linear to square and cubic multidimensions using "Linear Prefix" originals :
44,5 cubic centimetres =
(44,5)(1 cm)(1 cm)(1 cm)
=
(44, 5)(1/100)(1 m)(1/100)(1 m)
(1/10)(1/10)(1 m)

[ deci = 1/10
centi = 1/100 = (1/10)(1/10) ]
= 44,5(1/10 dm)(1/10 dm)(1/10 dm) =
44,5/1000 cubic decimetre

i am kerala........thank uuuuu

How do I write out 8.2nm long ways?
0.000000182?
I'm a decimal mover... It's the only way my brain can make sense of... But there's a couple things that still confuse me about writing it out and moving the decimals. So I paused your video to see if I could come up with the correct answer without doing the math.
So if I wrote out nm properly my answer would be 0.000182 cm??

Thanks man! This explanation was the easiest and most clear I've found.

This makes it easier thanks so much when I go to xul sure I will kill it

good explanation

Watching this the night before my university physics exam 💖

when I subtract what number do I choose ?the bigger or smaller ?

Thank you for the simple explanation! I’m studying for my chemistry test retake tomorrow.

In example no. 2,how did the exponent become negative 6?

Have an exam with this tomorrow and my teacher never taught the topic, so thank you

I learn more from this guy than my private school. Fucking scam.

THANK YOU, I was being mutilated by homework I didn’t know how to do, until I watched this video.

Definitely the best video on this topic, thank you!

my teacher expects us to memorise this even though we had no idea what he was talking about 😭😭😭😭😭😭
MY EXAMS ARE TOMORROW

i see centi so on the positive wouldn't there be an hecto?

U saved my life

Good article. Thanks

How do you arrange subtraction between prefixes?

thank for this!!! finally someone who clearly explains and visualizes that a prefix can be attached to any base (gram/ meter)!!

i cant even explain thank you so much for this my teacher was shit at explaining this and i have a physics test in 2 days

Is there a rule for which exponent comes first in the subtraction step? In the first example you have kilo (given) - deci (wanted). In the second example you have centi (wanted) - nano (given). If we reverse the order we get a different exponent. Is the rule just the larger unit subtracted by the smaller unit?

Amezing lesson

NAHHH THANK YOU FOR THIS LITERALLY NEVER COMMENT ON ANY VIDEOS BUT THIS EXPLAINED EVERYTHING PLS I THANK YOU I UNDERSTANDTHIS NOW😊😊😊

Can someone please explain me why 1cm was written on top and 10^7nm at the bottom for second question please and thanks

ya

Thank you so much for this! I’m having my Chemistry test tomorrow 😭

I've spent 3 hours on this topic and this is the best video hands down! Keep it up.

thank you for including nanometers n other ones :’)

Grade saver!!
