All other units are made by mathematically

combining the fundamental units. These are

called

• mathematical units
• integrated units
• combined units
• derived units

is a ratio expressing how many of one

unit are equal to another unit.

• Conversion rate
• Exchange rate
• Interest rate
• Conversion Factor

is a way of writing numbers that

are too large or small to be conveniently written as a

decimal.

• Fractional notation
• Exponential notation
• Scientific notation
• Binary notation

1. When the decimal point is moved from right to left, the result is positive exponent.

• False
• Zero
• True
• Negative exponent

2. When the decimal point is moved left to right, the results is negative exponent.

• fractional exponent
• true

• imaginary exponent
• zero exponent

Refers to the closeness of the

measurement to the true value

of accepted value.

• precision
• reliability
• validity
• accuracy

Refers to the closeness

among several measurement

that have been obtained in the

same way.

• Variability
• Precision
• Accuracy
• Bias
