9) State the symbol and value for the following prefixes.
Prefix Symbol Value
giga G 1 000 000 000
mega
kilo
milli
micro
10) Change the following quantities into the stated prefix.
Example:
9000 m = 900 000 cm
9000 m = 900 000 cm (Divide the quantity with the value of prefix stated in the question)
0.01
(a) 8 800 000 g = ____________ Mg
(b) 0.000 006 A = ____________ A
(c) 0.009 g = __________mg
(d) 6500 m = _________km
2
11) Substitute the actual value of the prefixes in the following quantity and write the final answer in the
standard form.
Example:
300 km = 300 x 1000 m = 300 000 m = 3.0 x 105 m
(a) 50 MV = __________________ V = _____________ V = _____________ V
(b) 3 Gm = ___________________ m = _________________ m = _________________ m
(c) 45 ms =
(d) 600 A =
12) Change the following units of measurement into kg.
Example:
400 000g = 0.0004 kg
400 000 g = 40 000 x 0.00001 g = 0.4 g (Change the prefix with its value)
0.4 g = 0.0004 kg (Divide the quantity with the value of k )
1000
(a) 250 mg = _________ kg (b) 6 cg = ___________ kg
(c) 30 Mg = _________ kg (d) 0.002 Gg __________ kg
