Unit Name to Fraction (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on converting metric unit prefixes into their equivalent fractions. Students practice understanding the numerical value of prefixes like nano, pico, and milli in relation to base units such as meters, seconds, grams, and amps. The questions require identifying the correct fractional representation of measurements like nanometers, picoseconds, and milligrams. This activity helps in comprehending how these unit prefixes quantify much smaller or larger magnitudes, which is fundamental in scientific measurements and calculations.
