The prefix " meg " means:
β’ Metric prefixes and their meaning (kilo, mega, giga, etc.) β’ The relationship between metric prefixes and powers of ten β’ Common real-world examples: megawatt (MW), megabyte (MB)
β’ Compare what "kilo" means numerically and use that pattern to think about what "mega" should mean β’ Think about whether "mega" usually represents a larger or smaller quantity than the base unit β’ Use an example: if 1 watt is the base, about how many watts is 1 megawatt?
β’ Be sure you know that metric prefixes represent powers of 10, not division β’ Confirm whether "mega" corresponds to 10^3, 10^5, or 10^6 β’ Check if any option suggests dividing instead of multiplying and see if that matches how "mega" is used in science and engineering
