Free Measurement Worksheets | Metric System for Kids - Free Printable

Let's solve the metric unit conversion problems on this worksheet. We'll convert meters (M) to kilometers (KM) and kilometers (KM) to meters (M).

Key Conversion Factor:

- 1 kilometer (KM) = 1000 meters (M)

Left Column: Convert Meters to Kilometers

To convert meters to kilometers, divide by 1000.

1. 2000 M = ? KM
$ 2000 \div 1000 = 2 $
→ 2 KM

2. 5000 M = ? KM
$ 5000 \div 1000 = 5 $
→ 5 KM

3. 3000 M = ? KM
$ 3000 \div 1000 = 3 $
→ 3 KM

4. 1000 M = ? KM
$ 1000 \div 1000 = 1 $
→ 1 KM

5. 4000 M = ? KM
$ 4000 \div 1000 = 4 $
→ 4 KM

6. 7000 M = ? KM
$ 7000 \div 1000 = 7 $
→ 7 KM

7. 6000 M = ? KM
$ 6000 \div 1000 = 6 $
→ 6 KM

8. 8000 M = ? KM
$ 8000 \div 1000 = 8 $
→ 8 KM

Right Column: Convert Kilometers to Meters

To convert kilometers to meters, multiply by 1000.

1. 8 KM = ? M
$ 8 \times 1000 = 8000 $
→ 8000 M

2. 5 KM = ? M
$ 5 \times 1000 = 5000 $
→ 5000 M

3. 3 KM = ? M
$ 3 \times 1000 = 3000 $
→ 3000 M

4. 7 KM = ? M
$ 7 \times 1000 = 7000 $
→ 7000 M

5. 4 KM = ? M
$ 4 \times 1000 = 4000 $
→ 4000 M

6. 1 KM = ? M
$ 1 \times 1000 = 1000 $
→ 1000 M

7. 6 KM = ? M
$ 6 \times 1000 = 6000 $
→ 6000 M

8. 2 KM = ? M
$ 2 \times 1000 = 2000 $
→ 2000 M

Final Answer Key:

| Meters → Kilometers | Kilometers → Meters |
|---------------------|---------------------|
| 2000 M = 2 KM | 8 KM = 8000 M |
| 5000 M = 5 KM | 5 KM = 5000 M |
| 3000 M = 3 KM | 3 KM = 3000 M |
| 1000 M = 1 KM | 7 KM = 7000 M |
| 4000 M = 4 KM | 4 KM = 4000 M |
| 7000 M = 7 KM | 1 KM = 1000 M |
| 6000 M = 6 KM | 6 KM = 6000 M |
| 8000 M = 8 KM | 2 KM = 2000 M |

✔ All conversions are based on the fundamental relationship:
1 KM = 1000 M — just move the decimal point three places when converting.
