The Metric systemThe Metric system• Developed in the late 1700’s• Based on multiples of 10• First adopted by the French
in 1793• Adopted by the US Congress
in 1866

• Every Space is divided into 10 equal parts– One meter is equal to 10 decimeters– One decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters– One centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters– One millimeter is also divided into 10 sections
even though they are not drawn on a meter stick. (This is your Best Guess Number)
