Grade 6 Measurement Worksheets: Convert metric units - mixed ... - Free Printable

Let's solve each problem in the "Convert metric units of measurement" worksheet step by step. We'll use standard metric conversions:

Metric Conversions:

- Mass:
- 1 kg = 1000 g
- 1 g = 1000 mg
- Volume:
- 1 L = 1000 mL
- Length:
- 1 m = 100 cm
- 1 cm = 10 mm
- 1 km = 1000 m

Now, let’s solve each question:

---

1. 0.73 kg = ________ g
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 0.73 \times 1000 = 730 $
✔ 730 g

2. 0.65 kg = ________ cm
✘ This is incorrect – kg (mass) cannot be converted to cm (length).
→ Invalid conversion — probably a typo.
But if it meant 0.65 m = ? cm, then:
$ 0.65 \times 100 = 65 $ cm
But as written, this is not possible.

However, since it's listed as "cm", and the unit is kg, we must assume this is an error. Let's skip for now or note it.

➤ Likely intended: 0.65 m = 65 cm
But based on what's written: No valid conversion.

✔ Error in question — cannot convert kg to cm

3. 5.0 L = ________ mL
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 5.0 \times 1000 = 5000 $
✔ 5000 mL

4. 0.37 kg = ________ g
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 0.37 \times 1000 = 370 $
✔ 370 g

5. 5.6 mL = ________ L
→ Divide by 1000
$ 5.6 \div 1000 = 0.0056 $
✔ 0.0056 L

6. 0.81 L = ________ mL
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 0.81 \times 1000 = 810 $
✔ 810 mL

7. 4.6 cm = ________ mm
→ Multiply by 10
$ 4.6 \times 10 = 46 $
✔ 46 mm

8. 0.12 L = ________ mL
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 0.12 \times 1000 = 120 $
✔ 120 mL

9. 0.18 g = ________ kg
→ Divide by 1000
$ 0.18 \div 1000 = 0.00018 $
✔ 0.00018 kg

10. 1.4 mL = ________ L
→ Divide by 1000
$ 1.4 \div 1000 = 0.0014 $
✔ 0.0014 L

11. 8.3 L = ________ mL
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 8.3 \times 1000 = 8300 $
✔ 8300 mL

12. 0.62 kg = ________ g
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 0.62 \times 1000 = 620 $
✔ 620 g

13. 0.53 L = ________ mL
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 0.53 \times 1000 = 530 $
✔ 530 mL

14. 0.12 cm = ________ km
→ Convert cm → m → km
$ 0.12 \text{ cm} = 0.0012 \text{ m} $
$ 0.0012 \div 1000 = 0.0000012 \text{ km} $
✔ 0.0000012 km (or $ 1.2 \times 10^{-6} $ km)

15. 4.6 L = ________ mL
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 4.6 \times 1000 = 4600 $
✔ 4600 mL

16. 0.87 m = ________ mm
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 0.87 \times 1000 = 870 $
✔ 870 mm

17. 9.3 kg = ________ g
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 9.3 \times 1000 = 9300 $
✔ 9300 g

18. 0.15 kg = ________ g
→ Multiply by 1000
$ 0.15 \times 1000 = 150 $
✔ 150 g

Note:

- Question #2 appears to have a unit mismatch: converting kg (mass) to cm (length) is impossible.
- Possibly a typo — perhaps meant 0.65 m = ? cm, which would be 65 cm.

✔ All other problems are solved correctly using metric prefixes.
