I have to memorize all the prefixes.

Which ones do you know by memory? State the prefix and what it means(like 10^-1)

kayybee · 2011-09-11 18:33:50

I know all of them. There are only 6 so it only took me like 10 seconds.

Well that's becaues you have to know them since that is your measurements of math. Here in America' it's not a priority.

Yeah, I hate that America's stuck with the imperial.

What's harder is if the rest of the world had to memorize imperial. Metric is easy, imperial is all random numbers.

Googling...

EDIT: I searched "deka" and "deca" and it had nothing to do with measurement. hmm

According to Google neither are right
at least not the spellcheck on Chrome

Oh hmmm... my teacher said either works.

Added hecto and femto so both sides would be even smile

Okay, after a while I finally memorized them. (more than just 6)

Edit: added the rest of them. (from wikipedia smile )

peta... petameter? What kind of name is peta? Does is sound like pita bread???

pico... picometer? What kind of name is pico? Actually, it's sounds fine.

Okay, after typing these I finally memorized them.

Yeah, I couldn't remember hecto without looking it up, so I didn't include it.

You'll also notice that the prefixes that use positive exponents are the same used in computers.
