Ideas in this flowchart

  • Common Nutrition Measurement Systems and Metric Prefixes
  • Two commonly used measurement systems
  • Metric System
  • US Customary System
  • Both systems are needed because the US will not completely adopt the Metric System
  • Common Metric System prefixes
  • Micro- (μ): one millionth, or 1/1,000,000th
  • Milli- (m): one thousandth, or 1/1,000th
  • Centi- (c): one hundredth, or 1/100th
  • Deci- (d): one tenth, or 1/10th
  • Kilo- (k): one thousand times, or 1000x

"In nutrition, there are two systems of commonly used measurements: Metric and US Customary. We need both because the US won’t adopt the metric system completely. These are commonly used prefixes for the Metric System: Micro- (μ) 1/1,000,000th (one millionth), Milli- (m) 1/1000th (one thousandth), Centi- (c) 1/100th (one hundredth), Deci- (d) 1/10th (one tenth), and Kilo- (k) 1000x (one thousand times)."
