I'll solve this metric conversion worksheet step by step.
## Part 1: Converting Metric Units (Questions 1-10)
Key conversions to remember:
- Length: 1 km = 1000 m, 1 m = 100 cm, 1 cm = 10 mm
- Weight: 1 kg = 1000 g
- Volume: 1 L = 1000 mL
1) 0.35 km = ___ m
0.35 × 1000 = 350 m
2) 2.9 cm = ___ mm
2.9 × 10 = 29 mm
3) 4260 g = ___ kg
4260 ÷ 1000 = 4.26 kg
4) 315 cm = ___ m
315 ÷ 100 = 3.15 m
5) ___ L = 3750 mL
3750 ÷ 1000 = 3.75 L
6) ___ g = 0.93 kg
0.93 × 1000 = 930 g
7) 8.4 L = ___ mL
8.4 × 1000 = 8400 mL
8) ___ mm = 13.5 cm
13.5 × 10 = 135 mm
9) 5.08 m = ___ cm
5.08 × 100 = 508 cm
10) ___ m = 0.06 km
0.06 × 1000 = 60 m
## Part 2: Circle the Largest Amount in Each Box
Box 1 (Weight): 1.24 kg, 1310 g, 950 g
Convert all to grams: 1.24 kg = 1240 g
So we have: 1240 g, 1310 g, 950 g
Largest:
1310 g ✓
Box 2 (Length): 0.35 km, 309 m, 3640 cm
Convert all to meters: 0.35 km = 350 m, 3640 cm = 36.4 m
So we have: 350 m, 309 m, 36.4 m
Largest:
350 m (0.35 km)
Box 3 (Volume): 7090 mL, 7250 mL, 7.2 L
Convert all to mL: 7.2 L = 7200 mL
So we have: 7090 mL, 7250 mL, 7200 mL
Largest:
7250 mL
Box 4 (Length): 52,329 cm, 5120 m, 5.7 km
Convert all to meters: 52,329 cm = 523.29 m, 5.7 km = 5700 m
So we have: 523.29 m, 5120 m, 5700 m
Largest:
5700 m (5.7 km)
## Part 3: Compare Using >, <, or =
1) 0.5 L vs 59 mL
0.5 L = 500 mL
500 mL > 59 mL
Answer:
>
2) 46 mm vs 5.1 cm
5.1 cm = 51 mm
46 mm < 51 mm
Answer:
<
3) 2781 g vs 2.8 kg
2.8 kg = 2800 g
2781 g < 2800 g
Answer:
<
4) 752 cm vs 0.9 m
0.9 m = 90 cm
752 cm > 90 cm
Answer:
>
5) 740 mL vs 0.74 L
0.74 L = 740 mL
740 mL = 740 mL
Answer:
=
6) 795 g vs 0.8 kg
0.8 kg = 800 g
795 g < 800 g
Answer:
<
7) 35 mm vs 3.8 cm
3.8 cm = 38 mm
35 mm < 38 mm
Answer:
<
8) 7.62 L vs 860 mL
7.62 L = 7620 mL
7620 mL > 860 mL
Answer:
>
9) 0.82 km vs 790 m
0.82 km = 820 m
820 m > 790 m
Answer:
>
10) 1¾ km vs 1750 m
1¾ km = 1.75 km = 1750 m
1750 m = 1750 m
Answer:
=
11) 576 g vs ½ kg
½ kg = 0.5 kg = 500 g
576 g > 500 g
Answer:
>
12) 72.6 cm vs 750 mm
750 mm = 75 cm
72.6 cm < 75 cm
Answer:
<
