Metric Conversion Trick!! Part 1

[@Bollendorfscience]

If you liked this video, please check out my other videos, subscribe and spread the word! I will be creating tons of new content this summer so let me know if you have any topics you need help with. Thanks everyone for your support!!

[@itzmaggie7838]

Isn't is "King Henry doesn't usually Drink chocolate milk*

[@Bollendorfscience]

Sure, any saying that helps you remember it!

[@jasmineneal5005]

Why did you add extra zeros to the 47? Please explain it

[@Bollendorfscience]

Here's an example that may help. In the Olympics they measure swimming times to the hundreth of a second so even if you swam a lap in 14 seconds flat, when it appears on the leader board the time would read 14.00 seconds. Why? Because it shows a specific degree of accuracy that is important when you compare it to the other swimmer's times. Any whole number, let's say 14 for example, can be written like this: 14.0 (tenths place) or 14.00 (hundredth place) or 14.000 (thousand place) Hope that helps

[@AshCatGaming]

so it will be easy the Zeros that he put means the b,d,c,m so it much easy to explain us move the decimal. ( p.s im not good at math )

[@zamambonthabisengmkhize3687]

I don't understand why math instructors fail to simplify instructions as plainly as this video did.Its almost to easy when watching these you tube video's . Thanks man!

[@Bollendorfscience]

Thanks for all the great comments everyone. I'm really happy that some of you found this useful! I know it's not the most exciting topic but I'm glad some of you stuck with it to understand how easy this method is for converting back and forth. I teach 8th grade science and this method really helps them and makes it more fun. I also have them create their own saying if they want....they come up with some funny ones!

[@gamersdisk8962]

Yay

[@PriArts98]

I was not interested to learn when I was at school so I forgot everything now. But now I am realizing how important are this little things and I want to learn. So glad that we have internet, Google, KZbin and people like you who teaches. Thank you once again

[@crystal4348]

Would this work for Giga, Mega, Micro, Nano, and pico? If not any suggestions on remembering the conversions?

[@oneartsychick1]

Yes, just keep going beyond the beginning and end of this chart (the K and the m) - Wikipedia has a great chart of SI (System of units) and you can use it to expand this. Remember that the exponents do change so you’ll have to “leave spaces in the between” so that you can just move freely about the chart. Kinda hard to explain in a comment, but you’ll get the hang of it when you see the chart and start doing it.

[@elpink3634]

Dude! I love you man! Thank you. This was something I have been struggling with since grade 9. It's been 7years now! And it didn't even take 10mins coming from you. Thank you!! God bless.

I will subscribe and share you channel for people like me who are also struggling with mathematical equations like this.

[@Al-xi8vu]

Thank you soo much! I take super long to finish our schools yearly big tests, so I was basically the last on still testing in another room. Because of this, my teacher decided to teach this to the class without me for 4 days (I told you I took a long time to test). Once I was finally done, I came back at the exact moment our class was having a unit test, and because I missed 4 days of learning I couldn't understand some of the problems. I told my teacher this, and he couldn't give a damn sh*t. His exact words were, "Wing it." I plopped my butt back at my desk and angrily did the test. And no surprise, I got a C on it. So I came here to actually learn how to do this, what my damn teacher couldn't do. Thanks a ton.

[@Bollendorfscience]

sorry to hear that! glad my video helped! keep working hard and learning through youtube videos when you're stuck. I do it all the time with tons of different types of questions.
