    Veera drives big rigs all over the country. She knows that the semitrailer she’s driving is 3.5 m high. The bridge she’s about to go over is 352.5 cm high. Will Veera’s truck fit under the bridge?
    ::Veera在全国各地开着大型钻机。 她知道她驾驶的半拖车高度为3.5米。 她即将经过的桥梁高度为352.5厘米。 Veera的卡车在桥下合适吗?

    In this concept, you will learn to convert metric units of measurement.
    ::在这个概念中,你会学会转换计量单位。

    Metric System
    ::计量系统

    The metric system of measurement is the primary measurement system in many countries; it contains units such as , kilometers and liters. You can remember the conversions by learning the prefixes: milli-means thousandth, centi-means hundredth, and kilo-means thousand. So a millimeter is one-thousandth of a meter , and a kilometer is one thousand meters.
    ::测量的衡量系统是许多国家的主要测量系统;它包含单位,如 、 公里和 升。 您可以通过学习前缀来记住转换。 前缀是 毫平均值 千, 中位单位百, 千位单位千。 因此, 一毫米是一米一千米, 一公里是一千米。

    Metric Units of Measurement
    ::计量计量单位

    lesson content

    Now that you have reviewed these units of measurement, you can look at converting among the different units of measurement.
    ::既然你已经审查了这些计量单位,你就可以看看不同计量单位之间的转换。

    Let’s look at an example.
    ::让我们举个例子。

    How many are in 5 meters?
    ::5米内有多少人?

    First, set up a proportion.
    ::首先,设定一个比例。

    Next, cross multiply to solve for x .
    ::下一个, 交叉乘以x 解析 。

    The answer is 500.
    ::答案是500

    Therefore 5 meters is equal to 500 centimeters.
    ::因此,5米等于500厘米。

    Let’s look at another example.
    ::让我们再看看另一个例子。

    Henry is making a recipe for lemonade that uses 2 liters of water. If he makes 3 batches of the recipe, how many milliliters of water will he need?
    ::亨利正在制作柠檬水配方,需要2升水。如果他做了3批配方,他需要多少毫升水?

    First find the total number of liters he needs.
    ::首先找出他需要的公升数。

    If there are 2 liters in one batch, and he is making 3 batches, then he will need 2 × 3 = 6  liters.
    ::如果每批有2升,他正在制造3升,那么他将需要2×3=6升。

    Next, set up a proportion.
    ::接下来,设定一个比例。

    Then, cross multiply to solve for x .
    ::然后,交叉倍数来解答 x。

    The answer is 6000.
    ::答案是6000

    Therefore 6 liters is equal to 6000 milliliters.
    ::因此,6升等于6,000毫升。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Veera and her tall bridge.
    ::早些时候,有人给了你一个 维拉和她的高桥的问题

    Veera needs to determine the height of the 352.2 cm bridge in meters in order to compare it to the truck. If the bridge height is greater than 3.5 m, the truck will fit under the bridge.
    ::Veera需要确定352.2厘米大桥的高度,以便与卡车进行比较,如果桥高超过3.5米,卡车将安装在桥下。

    First, set up a proportion.
    ::首先,设定一个比例。

    Next, cross multiply.
    ::下一个,交叉乘数。

    Then, divide both sides by 100 to solve for x .
    ::然后把两边除以100 解决x

     

    The answer is 3.525.
    ::答案是3.525。

    The bridge clearance is 3.525 m. This means the truck has 0.025 m or 2.5 cm clearance.
    ::桥梁通航3.525米。 这意味着卡车通航0.025米或2.5厘米。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Convert 4500 ml into liters.
    ::将4500毫升转换为升。

    First, set up a proportion.
    ::首先,设定一个比例。

    Next, cross multiply. 
    ::下一个,交叉乘数。

    Then divide both sides by 1000 to solve for x .
    ::然后将两边除以1000 解决 x 。

    The answer is 4.5.
    ::答案是4.5。

    Therefore 4.5 liters is equal to 4500 milliliters.
    ::因此4.5升等于4 500毫升。

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Convert 5.5 grams into milligrams.
    ::将5.5克转化为毫克。

    First, set up a proportion.
    ::首先,设定一个比例。

    Next, cross multiply to solve for x   .
    ::下一个, 交叉乘以解答 x 。

    The answer is 5500.
    ::答案是5500

    Therefore 5.5 grams is equal to 5500 milligrams.
    ::因此,5.5克等于5 500毫克。

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Convert 40 mm into centimeters.
    ::将40毫米转换成厘米

    First, set up a proportion.
    ::首先,设定一个比例。

    Next, cross multiply.
    ::下一个,交叉乘数。

     Then, divide both sides by 10 to solve for x .
    ::然后把两边除以10 解决x

    The answer is 4.
    ::答案是4。

    Therefore 4 cm is equal to 40 mm.
    ::因此,4厘米等于40毫米。
