  • Yvegenia is measuring items around her classroom. She decides to measure a pencil. She has access to a ruler, a  meter  stick and metric tape. Which tool should she use to find the  length  of the pencil?
    ::Yvegenia正在测量教室周围的项目。 她决定测量铅笔。 她可以使用标尺、 仪表棒和磁带。 她应该使用哪种工具来找到铅笔的长度 ?

    In this concept, you will learn how to use appropriate tools for metric measurement.

    ::在这个概念中,你们将学会如何使用适当的衡量工具。

    Metric Measuring Tools
    ::计量计量工具

    Some metric units for measuring length are millimeters,  ,   and kilometers. Millimeters and centimeters are found on a ruler. There is a meter stick that measures 1 meter. A metric tape measure can be used to measure multiple meters. If you wanted to measure long distances, you could use a  kilometer  odometer.
    ::一些测量长度的公尺单位是毫米和公里。 在标尺上可以找到毫米和厘米。 有测量1米的公尺杆。 测量多米的公尺测量器可以使用。 如果您想测量长距离, 您可以使用千米的公尺。

    A tool is designed to make measuring simpler. Choosing a tool that isn’t the best choice can make measuring very challenging. Let’s think about tools and when you should use them depending on what and/or where you are measuring.
    ::一个工具旨在简化测量。 选择一个不是最佳选择的工具可以让测量变得非常具有挑战性。 让我们想想工具以及根据什么和(或)在哪里进行测量应该何时使用。

    Here are some general suggestions:
    ::以下是一些一般性建议:

    If the object is very tiny, use a ruler for millimeters.
    ::如果物体非常小,用标尺来测量毫米。

    If the object is less than 30 cm use a ruler for centimeters.
    ::如果对象小于30厘米,使用标尺来计算厘米。

    If the object is between 30 cm and 2 or so meters use a meter stick.
    ::如果天体在30厘米到2米之间,用米棍。

    If the object is greater than a few meters, use a metric tape measure.
    ::如果物体大于几米,请使用磁带测量。

    If the object is a long distance, for instance across town, use a kilometer odometer.
    ::如果天体距离很远,例如横越城镇,则使用千米长的千米计。

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

    How should a road race be measured?
    ::如何衡量道路竞赛?

    A road race is usually a significant distance, so use a kilometer odometer to measure it.
    ::道路赛跑通常距离很远,所以用千米仪测量。
