Here's the complete solution to the worksheet “CONVERTING METRIC UNITS – LENGTH WEIGHT & VOLUME 4”, broken down into sections with explanations.

---

## ✔ SECTION 1: CONVERT THE METRIC UNITS

Key Metric Conversion Rules (for reference):

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

---

1) 0.35 km = ______ m

→ Multiply by 1000:
0.35 × 1000 = 350 m

✔ Answer: 350

---

2) 2.9 cm = ______ mm

→ Multiply by 10:
2.9 × 10 = 29 mm

✔ Answer: 29

---

3) 4260 g = ______ kg

→ Divide by 1000:
4260 ÷ 1000 = 4.26 kg

✔ Answer: 4.26

---

4) 315 cm = ______ m

→ Divide by 100:
315 ÷ 100 = 3.15 m

✔ Answer: 3.15

---

5) ______ L = 3750 mL

→ Divide by 1000:
3750 ÷ 1000 = 3.75 L

✔ Answer: 3.75

---

6) ______ g = 0.93 kg

→ Multiply by 1000:
0.93 × 1000 = 930 g

✔ Answer: 930

---

7) 8.4 L = ______ mL

→ Multiply by 1000:
8.4 × 1000 = 8400 mL

✔ Answer: 8400

---

8) ______ mm = 13.5 cm

→ Multiply by 10:
13.5 × 10 = 135 mm

✔ Answer: 135

---

9) 5.08 m = ______ cm

→ Multiply by 100:
5.08 × 100 = 508 cm

✔ Answer: 508

---

10) ______ m = 0.06 km

→ Multiply by 1000:
0.06 × 1000 = 60 m

✔ Answer: 60

---

## ✔ SECTION 2: WHICH IS THE MOST? CIRCLE THE LARGEST AMOUNT IN EACH BOX

We must convert all units in each box to the same unit to compare.

---

Box 1: Mass — kg, g, g

- 1.24 kg = 1240 g
- 1310 g → already in grams
- 950 g

→ 1310 g is largest (already circled correctly)

✔ Correct as shown

---

Box 2: Length — km, m, cm

Convert all to meters:
- 0.35 km = 350 m
- 309 m → already in meters
- 3640 cm = 36.4 m

→ 350 m is largest

✔ Circle: 0.35 km

---

Box 3: Volume — mL, mL, L

Convert all to mL:
- 7090 mL
- 7250 mL
- 7.2 L = 7200 mL

→ 7250 mL is largest

✔ Circle: 7250 mL

---

Box 4: Length — cm, m, km

Convert all to meters:
- 52,329 cm = 523.29 m
- 5120 m → already in meters
- 5.7 km = 5700 m

→ 5700 m (5.7 km) is largest

✔ Circle: 5.7 km

---

## ✔ SECTION 3: USE >, <, OR = TO COMPARE AMOUNTS

Again, convert both sides to same unit.

---

1) 0.5 L ___ 59 mL

→ 0.5 L = 500 mL → 500 > 59
✔ >

---

2) 46 mm ___ 5.1 cm

→ 5.1 cm = 51 mm → 46 < 51
✔ <

---

3) 2781 g ___ 2.8 kg

→ 2.8 kg = 2800 g → 2781 < 2800
✔ <

---

4) 752 cm ___ 0.9 m

→ 0.9 m = 90 cm → 752 > 90
✔ >

---

5) 740 mL ___ 0.74 L

→ 0.74 L = 740 mL → equal
✔ =

---

6) 795 g ___ 0.8 kg

→ 0.8 kg = 800 g → 795 < 800
✔ <

---

7) 35 mm ___ 3.8 cm

→ 3.8 cm = 38 mm → 35 < 38
✔ <

---

8) 7.62 L ___ 860 mL

→ 7.62 L = 7620 mL → 7620 > 860
✔ >

---

9) 0.82 km ___ 790 m

→ 0.82 km = 820 m → 820 > 790
✔ >

---

10) 1 ¾ km ___ 1750 m

→ 1 ¾ km = 1.75 km = 1750 m → equal
✔ =

---

11) 576 g ___ ½ kg

→ ½ kg = 500 g → 576 > 500
✔ >

---

12) 72.6 cm ___ 750 mm

→ 750 mm = 75 cm → 72.6 < 75
✔ <

---
