Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Some things scientists want to measure may be very large or very small. The SI, or metric, system is based on the

principle that all quantities of a measured property have the same units, allowing scientists to easily convert large and

small numbers. To work with such large or small numbers, scientists use metric prefixes. Prefixes can be added to base

units and make the value of the unit larger or smaller. For example, all masses are measured in grams, but adding

prefixes, such as milli- or kilo-, alters the amount. Measuring a human’s mass in grams would not make much sense

because the measurement would be such a large number. Instead, scientists use kilograms because it is easier to write

and say that a human has a mass of 90 kilograms than a mass of 90,000 grams. Likewise, one kilometer is 1,000 meters,

while one millimeter is 0.001 meters. The table below lists some common prefixes and the quantities they represent.
