Introduction
Measurement is an indispensable process in many aspects of daily life. We describe the sizes,
capacities and values of many things, from the large distances involved in space travel, to the
very small quantities in computer design. Almost everything you use every day is measured –
from the clothes you wear and gadgets you use, to the food you eat. Building materials and
machine parts must have precise measurements so that these will fit perfectly as intended.
Shoes have sizes so you will know which pair to choose. In our highly globalized world,
measurement is vital in communication. In the sciences, earthquake magnitude is measured in
terms of the Richter Scale, oven and room temperatures are measured with a thermometer and
water hardness is measured in terms of mineral content. Can you imagine what the world would
be like without a system of measurement?

After this lesson, you will be able to:

(MELCs)
 Approximate the measures of quantities particularly length, weight/mass, volume, time, angle and
temperature and rate.
 Convert measurements from one unit to another in both Metric and English systems.
 Solve problems involving conversion of units of measurement.
Enabling Objectives (EO)
 Define the different units of measurement
 Illustrate the appropriate units of measurement.

  Value accuracy in dealing with measurements.
Integration of Faith and Values in Learning
Conversion requires pruning. Conversion requires time. Conversion requires help. Just
like Saul’s experience of conversion “Upon the soul stricken Jew the image of the Saviour’s
countenance was imprinted forever. The words spoken struck home to his heart with appalling
force. Into the darkened chambers of his mind there poured a flood of light, revealing the
ignorance and error of his former life and his present need of the enlightenment of the Holy
Spirit.” {AA 115} Paul declared that his change of faith had not been prompted by impulse or
fanaticism, but had been brought about by overwhelming evidence. {AA 125}

“Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.”
- Blaise Pascal

Things to Remember
 MEASUREMENT – is a process of making an inference out of
something by putting a possible end to its feature like length, weight,
or even volume.

PRAYER!
Dear students, don’t forget to pray before you start answering your module.
We come to you this very morning Lord. We would like to thank you for the
gift of new life. Fill our hearts and mind with the Holy Spirit to teach and guide us.
We ask for wisdom from above before we start answering our module because we

 Firm-up

One of the earliest tools that human beings invented was the unit of Measurement.
Measurement is a process of making an inference out of something by putting a possible end
to its feature like length, weight, or even volume. Measurements are classified into two;
Nonstandard units of measurements and Standard units of measurements. Nonstandard
units of measurements like digit, hand, hand span, foot, cubit, and pace were some body
parts used as tools by the ancient Greek and Roman civilization in measuring objects. This type
of measurement is not standard since the size of the human body varies from person to person.
Other unit of measurement is the standard units of measurements. These units are also
classified into two types; English system like inch, foot and yard; and Metric system like
meter, centimeter and kilometer.
Measurement is very important in our daily lives. We need to answer questions that
begin with how long, how far, how much, and so on. All these questions require some kind of
measurement before they can be answered. Also, the unit of measure used depends on the
quantity or item to be measured. Just like when you buy gasoline by liter, mangoes by
kilograms, and ice cream by gallon. You get the distance between two buildings in meters and
that between two cities or towns in kilometers.

HISTORY OF MEASUREMENT
One of the earliest tools that human beings invented was the unit of measurement. In
olden times, people needed measurement to determine how long or wide things are; things they
needed to build their houses or make their clothes. Later, units of measurement were used in
trade and commerce. In the 3rd century BC Egypt, people used their body parts to determine
measurements of things; the same body parts that you used to measure the assigned things to
you. The forearm length, as described in the table below, was called a cubit. The hand span
was considered a half cubit while the palm was considered 1/6 of a cubit. Go ahead, check out
how many hand span your forearm length is. The Egyptians came up with these units to be
more accurate in measuring different lengths. However, using these units of measurement had
a disadvantage. Not everyone had the same forearm length. Discrepancies arose when the
people started comparing their measurements to one another because measurements of the
same thing differed, depending on who was measuring it. Because of this, these units of
measurement are called non-standard units of measurement which later on evolved into what is
now the inch, foot and yard, basic units of length in the English system of measurement.

MEASURES OF LENGTH
English System
Inch, foot and yard are the basic units of length of the English System of Measurement.
Since, inch and foot are both units of length, each can be converted into the other Here are
some unit conversion:
1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet
1 mile = 1 760 yards = 5 280 feet
These conversion factors may be used to convert from one unit to another. Just
remember that you’re converting from one unit to another so cancelling same units would guide
you in how to use your conversion factors. Please be reminded that only the unit was converted
but the given length was not changed.
Example:
1. Convert 36 inches into feet:
1 foot
36 inches × =3 feet
12inches
2. Convert two miles into inches:
5280 feet 12 inches 2× 5280× 12
2 miles × × = =126 720inches
1 mile 1 feet 1× 1
Metric System
The metric system is the most common system of measurement used in the world today
because computations are easier in this system. This system is also more convenient and
practical to use. We use the unit of length when measuring the length, width and thickness of
objects and also in getting the distance. Some of the tools used in measuring length are ruler,
tape measure and meter stick.
Here are some objects that illustrate the units of length in metric system.

The average length of a The width of a micro SD card The thickness of a needle is
window is about 1 meter. is about 1 centimeter. about 1 millimeter.
Observe the objects above. Notice that the unit of measurements used in measuring
depends on the size of the object.
Meter (m) is the basic unit of length. It is derived from the Greek word metron which
means “a measure”. It is initially defined as one ten – millionth of the distance from the equator

concepcion adventist academy @ 2021 - 2022 6

to the North Pole. This definition is redefined as the distance the light travels in a vacuum in
1
second and currently remains the standard today.

COMMON METRIC UNIT OF LENGTH
Unit Relation to Length
Kilometer (km) 1 000 m
Hectometer (hm) 100 m
Dekameter (dm) 10 m
Meter (m) 1m
Decimeter (dm) 0.1 m
Centimeter (cm) 0.01 m
Millimeter (mm) 0.001 m

Millimeter, centimeter, and decimeter are metric units used to measure short lengths
while meter and kilometer are metric units used to measure long lengths and distances.
Presidential Decree No. 187 prescribed the use of Metric System in the Philippines as
standards of weights and measure to avoid confusions and waste of time in computation.
Example:
1. Convert 3 km to m:
1000 m
3 km × =3 000 m
1 km
2. Convert 10 mm to m:
1m 1
10 mm × = ∨0.01 m
1 000 mm 100

As you can see in the examples above, any length or distance may be measured using
the appropriate English or Metric units. In the question about the Filipina girl whose height was
expressed in meters, her height can be converted to the more familiar feet and inches. So, in
the Philippines where the official system of measurements is the Metric System yet the English
System continues to be used, or as long as we have relatives and friends residing in the United
States, knowing how to convert from the English System to the Metric System (or vice versa)
would be useful. The following are common conversion factors for length:
Here are some conversion of units from English System to Metric Sytem:
1 inch = 2.54 cm 1 mile = 1.609 km
1 yard = 0.9144 m 3.3 feet = 1 m
Example:
1. Convert 20 inches to cm:

MEASURES OF WEIGHT AND MASS

In common language, mass and weight are used interchangeably although weight is the
more popular term. Oftentimes in daily life, it is the mass of the given object which is called its
weight. However, in the scientific community, mass and weight are two different
measurements. Mass refers to the amount of matter an object has while weight is the
gravitational force acting on an object. Weight is often used in daily life, from commerce to food
production. For the English System of Measurement, the base unit for weight is the pound
(lb). Here are some of the unit conversion:
1 pound (lb.) = 16 ounces (oz.) 1 metric ton (t) = 2 200 pounds (lb.)
1 U.S. short ton (T) = 2 000 pounds (lb.)
Example:
1. Convert 128 oz. to lb.
1lb
128 oz .× =8 lb
16 oz .
2. Convert 19 000 lb. to T
1U . S . short ton
19 000 lb . × =9.5T
2 000 lb

concepcion adventist academy @ 2021 - 2022 8

 For the Metric System of Measurement, gram is the basic unit of weight. Weight is
actually caused by the pull of the Earth on an object. However, in our daily lives, it is weight that
we measure. In the olden times, people use “salop” in buying rice. But nowadays, it is bought
by “kilo,” the popular name for kilogram (kg). The weighing scale and the beam balance are
some of the instruments used in measuring weight.
COMMON METRIC UNIT OF MASS/WEIGHT
Unit Relation to Length
Kilogram (kg) 1 000 g
Hectogram (hg) 100 g
Dekagram (dg) 10 g
Gram (g) 1g
Decigram (dg) 0.1 g
Centigram (cg) 0.01 g
Milligram (mg) 0.001 g

Here are some examples:

1. Convert 350 g to kg
1 kg
350 g × =0.35 kg
1000 g
2. Convert 48 hg to cg
100 g 100 cg 48 ×100 ×100 480 000
48 hg× × = = ∨480 000 cg
1 hg 1g 1 ×1 1

Since both these units are used in Philippine society, knowing how to convert from pound to
kilogram or vice versa is important. Here are some of the unit conversion.
1 kg = 2.2 lb 1 U. S. short ton = 0.9 metric ton 1 pound = 0.45 kg
1 gram = 0.035 oz. 1 metric ton = 1.1 U.S. short ton (T) 1 oz. = 28 gram

ACTIVITY 2: CONVERT IT TOO!

Convert the following from English System to English System, Metric System to Metric System,
and English System to Metric System and vice versa.

1. 53 oz. = ________ lb.
2. 1200 lb. = ________oz.
B. Metric System to Metric System
1. 18 kg = ________g
2. 500 mg = ________g

C. English System to Metric System (v. v)
1. 55 oz. = _______ g
2. 90 lb. = _______ kg
3. 15 kg = _____oz.
MEASURES OF VOLUME AND CAPACITY
Volume is the amount of space an object contains or occupies. The volume of a
container is considered to be the capacity of the container. This is measured by the number of
cubic units or the amount of fluid it can contain and not the amount of space the container
occupies.
The English System of Measurement also has its own units for measuring volume or
capacity. The commonly used English units for volume are cubic feet (ft3) or cubic inches (in3)
while the commonly used English units for fluid volume are the pint, quart or gallon. Recall from
the lesson on length and area that while the Philippine government has mandated the use of the
Metric system, English units are still very much in use in our society so it is an advantage if we
know how to convert from the English to the Metric system and vice versa. Hereunder are
some of the conversion factors which would help you convert given volume units into the
desired volume units:
3 3
1 ft =1728∈¿ ¿ 1 gal = 4 quarts (qt)
1 quart = 2 pints (pt) 1 pint = 2 cups (c)
1 cup = 16 tablespoon(tbsp.) 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons(tsp)
Example:
1. Convert 50 qt. to gal
1 gal
50 qt . × =12.5 gal
4 qt .
2. Convert 1.25 gal to c
4 qt 2 pt 2 c 1.25 × 4 ×2 ×2 20
1.25 gal× × × = = ∨20 c
1 gal 1 qt 1 pt 1× 1× 1 1
Liter (L) is the basic Metric Unit for measuring capacity. When we talk about how much
liquid or objects in a cup, a water jug, and a basket can hold, we are referring to the capacity of
the cup, water jug and basket as containers. When we talk about how much juice should we
drink, how much water is in the pool, and how much space a hollow block can occupy, then we
are talking about volume.

MEASURES OF TEMPERATURE
In the news, a meteorologist reports about the day’s weather forecast. In addition to
telling you what the weather conditions will be like (sunny, cloudy, rainy, muggy), they also tell
you the day’s forecast for high and low temperatures. A hot summer day may reach 38°, while a
cool day may have a lower temperature of 22°.
Temperature refers to the degree of hotness or coldness that can be measured using a
thermometer (from the Greek word thermos means “heat” and metron means “measure”). The
units used in measuring temperature are degree Celsius (℃), kelvin (K) and degree
Fahrenheit (℉). Degree Celsius is named after the Swedish astronomer, Anders Celsius.
Kelvin is named after the British physicist Sir William Thompson, Lord Kelvin and degree
Fahrenheit is named after the German maker, Gabriel Fahrenheit.
The metric system uses degree Celsius and kelvin as the units of temperature, whereas
degree Fahrenheit is used in the English system. Temperature measures in kelvin are usually
seen in scientific work, whereas degree Celsius is often used to note the temperature in one’s
everyday activities. Some temperatures that are often measured as follows: atmospheric
temperature (usually given in weather reports), body temperature (used to determine illness)
and oven temperature (used in cooking). You use the same scales in measuring all these
temperatures; however, they have different ranges of temperatures.

MEASURE IN TIME

concepcion adventist academy @ 2021 - 2022 13

 Primitive men used to tell time by the position of the sun, stars and the moon, and the
behavior of the animals. They used the sundial, the water clocks, and the hour glasses for
hundreds of years until the invention of the mechanical clocks, the stately grandfather clocks,
the quartz and digital watches, and more recently, the atomic clocks.
In measuring time, second(s) is considered as the standard unit. Clocks and calendars
are tools for indicating time. The two commonly used clocks are the 12-hour and the 24-hour
clocks. The 12-hour clock uses A.M. and P.M. to indicate hours before and after noon. The A.M.
is an abbreviation of Latin word ante meridiem means “before midday” and P.M. is an
abbreviation of Latin word post meridiem means “after midday”.

END OF FIRM-UP:
Now that you know the important ideas about the topic, go deeper by moving to
the next section.

Deepen

1.

Your goal in this section is to take closer at some aspects of the topic.

Have you ever wondered how carpenters build houses? Or how your mother measures
every ingredient of her recipe? Have you ever thought of how long have you been playing or
how hot or cold is it going today? Have you ever experienced having trouble or problem in
measuring something? A word problem is a situation that can be answered using one or more
operations. It may require you to make comparisons, form conclusions, or provide answers
supported by mathematical calculations.
Take a look at this example:
1. One morning in our school lobby I overheard my classmates, Quincy and Gail, having an
argument on who lives farther from the school. “My house is 3000 meters away from
school”, Said Quincy. “I live farther, my house is 3 kilometers away from school”, Cassie
answered. If Quincy’s house is 3000 meters away from school and Gail’s is 3
kilometers, then who lives farther from the school?
Given:
3000 meter – Quincy’s house from school
3 kilometers – Gail’s house from school
Solution:
Convert kilometer to meters. Solve the distance of Gail’s house from the school.

concepcion adventist academy @ 2021 - 2022 15

 1000 m
3 km × =3000 m
1 km
So, the distance of Gail’s house from the school is 3000 meters. This means that Gail’s
and Quincy’s house have the same distance from the school.
2. One of the pieces of information needed by Alfred in filling in a form is his weight in
kilograms. If his weight is 62000 grams, what is his weight in kilograms?
Given:
62 000 g – Alfred’s Weight
Solution:
1 kg 62 000 kg
62 000 g × = =62 kg
1000 g 1000
Therefore, Alfred’s weight is 62 kilograms.

3. Peter drinks 2 chocolate drinks. One is 250 mL and the other is 180 mL. How many liters
(L) of chocolate drinks did Peter drink in all?
Given:
250 mL chocolate drink
180 mL chocolate drink
Solution:
Add first,
250 mL + 180 m L = 430 ml
Then convert,
1l 430 L
430 mL × = =0.43 L
1000 mL 1000 mL
Therefore, Peter drinks 0.43 liters of chocolate drink in all.
4. The temperature in Baguio City is 15℃. What is the equivalent temperature in ℉?
Given: 15℃
9
Solution: ℉= ℃+3
5
9
℉= (15)+32
5
℉=27 +32
℉=59∨59 ℉
Therefore, Baguio’s temperature is 59 ℉ .
5. Jane will take 1 hour and 15 minutes to finish taking a bath. How long will it take Jane to
take a bath in seconds?

concepcion adventist academy @ 2021 - 2022 16

 Given:
