🔍 Key Concepts

• Metric prefixes and their meaning in powers of 10 (kilo, mega, giga, etc.) • Relationship between kilo and mega (how many times larger is mega than kilo) • Common real‑world examples: kilowatt vs. megawatt, kilobyte vs. megabyte

💭 Think About

• First, recall what kilo means in powers of 10, then think about how much bigger mega is than kilo. • Compare how many kilowatts are in one megawatt, or how many kilobytes are in one megabyte. • Look at the answer choices and eliminate any that you know match kilo or giga, not mega.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know: kilo = 10 to the 3rd power; use that as a stepping stone. • Check that the factor you pick is used for things like power plant output in megawatts or file sizes in megabytes (MB). • Verify that the multiplication factor you choose is exactly 1,000 times larger than kilo, not smaller or larger than that.
