Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the ordering of various weight units in the metric system, specifically from smallest to largest. Participants seek clarification on the correct sequence of units such as cg, mg, kg, g, dg, dag, and km, as well as assistance with conversions for a project.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests help in ordering the weight units from smallest to largest and expresses frustration with finding reliable resources.
  • Another participant suggests familiarity with metric prefixes and provides a link to a resource on the metric system.
  • A third participant indicates that they need the information for a project and mentions difficulty in finding certain units on the suggested site.
  • One participant humorously notes that they found the information in their notebook, indicating a personal discovery.
  • Another participant recommends Wikipedia as a helpful resource, specifically pointing to the section on 'Multiples.'

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the ordering of the units, and multiple requests for clarification and resources indicate that the discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about the metric units and their conversions, and there is a reliance on external resources that may not fully address the questions posed.

Do you know how to use the prefixes of the metric system ? Please see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/ .
 
Not really just need to find this out so I can work on a project that requires some conversion. Looked at your site but need not see some of the units. Anyone else know of a good site please?
 
oop hold the phone doh! its on the inside of my notebook how to do it. How handy! LOL
 
Wikipedia may be helpful. See under 'Multiples' on this page.
