Perform Mensuration and Calculation
I. Learning Competency
LO 2. Carryout Measurements and Calculation (TLE_IAPB7/8MC-0d-2)
2.1 Use appropriate measuring devices for specific tasks
2.2 Compute for required data.
2.3 Convert data to its equivalent measure
II. Background Information for Learners
Converting the unit of measurement from English to metric and vice versa
The Metric System is known as the most common measurement system used in most
places of the world. There are common prefixes used to represent as multipliers. For example, in
a distance of 2,000 meters can also be expressed as 2 Kilometers.
The English System on the other hand is also known as the British (US) System likewise
commonly used anywhere in the world. This system uses the Inch, Foot and Pound as the basic
units of measurement. Decimal inch based on tenths and hundredths to simplify measurements. It
is commonly used by Engineers, Architects, Surveyors, and Draftsmen etc. For better
understanding of the systems one must be familiar with the conversion of the English units of
measurement to the metric system and vice versa by applying the appropriate conversion factors
and procedures.
Measurement Systems
The basic measurement in the English system is the Yard divided into Feet and Inches
abbreviated as follows: Yard – Yd. , Feet – Ft. , and Inches as In. The Metric System or the
Systems International (SI) use Meter as the basic unit of measure divided into Decimeters,
Centimeters, and Millimeters with the following abbreviations when used.
Meter _ m Centimeter _ cm
Decimeter _ dm Millimeter _ mm
Measuring accurately is skill that should be developed. Inaccurate measurements would

mean waste of time, effort, materials and the quality of the finish product. The skill in
measuring starts with the ability to read and interpret the systems of measurement.
The measuring tool available in the workshop contains English System in one side and
Metric System on the other. In the English System, the inch is divided into 16 graduations. The
first graduation reads 1/16, the second 2/16 or 1/8, the third as 3/16 and so on.
A- English System
B- Metric System
The Metric System (Systems International-SI) Centimeters is divided into ten (10)
Graduations where the first graduation reads 1 millimeter, the second 2 millimeters, the fifth 5
millimeters or .5 centimeter and so on.
