That depends on what type of unit you are talking about (such as length, mass, time, etc.); but generally, a base unit is used (for instance, the meter for length), then prefixes (such as kilo, mega, Giga, Tera..., milli, micro, nano, pico...) are attached to create larger and smaller derived units.
What else can I help you with?
Name two SI units that can be used to describe the mass of smaller objects?
The SI units that can be used to describe the mass of smaller objects are grams (g) and milligrams (mg). These units are commonly used for measuring the mass of objects that are relatively light or small.
What are SI distance units?
SI distance units are the meter (m) for length, the kilometer (km) for longer distances, and the centimeter (cm) and millimeter (mm) for smaller distances. These units are widely used in scientific and everyday measurements.
Small units of matter are called molecules. When they are broken into smaller units what are they called?
When molecules are broken down into smaller units, they are called atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter and cannot be further divided into smaller particles without losing their chemical properties.
Is anything smaller then a millimeter?
Yes, there are units for measuring smaller lengths than a millimeter. For example, a micrometer is one millionth of a meter, and a nanometer is one billionth of a meter. These units are commonly used in fields such as nanotechnology and microbiology to measure very small distances.
Which is the smaller unit pounds or ounces?
1 oz = 28.34 grams 1 gram = 0.03 oz
When changing from smaller to larger units the number of units will?
The number of units will decrease and if it is going from largest to smallest the number of units will increase.
Which is the smaller mass?
If the units are the same, that will be the one with the smaller number of units.
What is the largest point in metric system?
It has no largest point. They are units of measure. There can be an infinite number of units.
In the metric system basic units are multiplied or divided by what amount to get larger or smaller units?
In the metric system basic units are multiplied or divided by 10 to get larger and smaller units
In metric system basic units are multiplied or divided by what amount to get larger and smaller units?
In the metric system basic units are multiplied or divided by 10 to get larger and smaller units
In the metric system basic units are multiplied or divided by what amount to get larger and smaller units?
In the metric system basic units are multiplied or divided by 10 to get larger and smaller units
60 72 in smaller units?
Sixty over seventy two in smaller units can be expressed as 5 over 6.
When measuring with different units will it take more of a smaller unit than a larger unit to reach the same capacity?
more smaller units than the bigger units
Which state has the largest number of urban units?
California has the largest number of urban units in the United States.
Which is smaller a kilogram or a hectometer?
You can't compare units of mass with units of length.
Why do you divide to change a smaller unit to a larger unit?
Because the number of larger units will be less than the number of smaller units, and when you divide the answer is usually smaller than the number you started with.
Why it ms sense to multiply when you convert to a smaller unit?
It makes sense to multiply when converting measurements to smaller units because it takes many smaller units to make up a larger unit. So in order to translate larger unit(s) into smaller units, you have to break up the larger unit(s) into many smaller pieces.
