Metric Conversion Worksheet Answers. This is not a problem to solve — it’s already the *answer key* for a worksheet on converting between metric units.
However, I can
explain how to solve each type of conversion shown here, so you understand the logic behind the answers.

## 📏 Metric Conversion Basics
The metric system uses prefixes that represent powers of 10. Here are the key relationships used in this worksheet:
Length:
- 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)
- 1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)
- 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
Mass:
- 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
Volume:
- 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)

## 🔁 How to Convert
➤ To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit, multiply by the conversion factor.
> Example: 5 m → cm → 5 × 100 =
500 cm
➤ To convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide by the conversion factor.
> Example: 8000 mL → L → 8000 ÷ 1000 =
8 L

✔ Let’s Verify a Few Examples from the Sheet
---
1) 5 m = 500 cm
→ 5 × 100 =
500 cm ✔️
2) 8000 mL = 8 L
→ 8000 ÷ 1000 =
8 L ✔️
3) 4 L = 4000 mL
→ 4 × 1000 =
4000 mL ✔️
4) 8 cm = 80 mm
→ 8 × 10 =
80 mm ✔️
5) 9000 g = 9 kg
→ 9000 ÷ 1000 =
9 kg ✔️
6) 7 m = 700 cm
→ 7 × 100 =
700 cm ✔️
7) 70 mm = 7 cm
→ 70 ÷ 10 =
7 cm ✔️
8) 10 kg = 10000 g
→ 10 × 1000 =
10000 g ✔️
9) 10000 g = 10 kg
→ 10000 ÷ 1000 =
10 kg ✔️

## 🎯 Pattern Recognition
Notice that all conversions here involve multiplying or dividing by
10, 100, or 1000 — which just means moving the decimal point!
- Multiply by 10 → move decimal 1 place right
- Multiply by 100 → move decimal 2 places right
- Multiply by 1000 → move decimal 3 places right
- Divide by 10 → move decimal 1 place left
- etc.

## 🧠 Tip for Students
Use this “metric staircase” memory aid:
```
kilo (1000)
|
hecto (100)
|
deca (10)
|
[base unit: m, g, L]
|
deci (0.1)
|
centi (0.01)
|
milli (0.001)
```
Each step up = divide by 10
Each step down = multiply by 10

## ✍️ If You Were Given the Blank Worksheet...
You’d be asked to fill in the blanks like:
> 1) ___ m = 500 cm → Answer:
5
> 2) 8000 mL = ___ L → Answer:
8
> 3) 4 L = ___ mL → Answer:
4000
And so on.
