Step-by-step solution for: Metric Conversion Worksheet
Problem Overview:
The task involves converting metric units of weight (grams, kilograms) and volume (milliliters, liters) and comparing them. The worksheet is divided into three main sections:
1. Converting Metric Units: Convert given values from one unit to another.
2. Identifying the Largest Amount: Circle the largest value in each group.
3. Comparing Amounts: Use the symbols \( > \), \( < \), or \( = \) to compare pairs of values.
---
Section 1: Converting Metric Units
The conversions are based on the following relationships:
- Weight:
- \( 1 \, \text{kg} = 1000 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 1 \, \text{g} = 0.001 \, \text{kg} \)
- Volume:
- \( 1 \, \text{L} = 1000 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 1 \, \text{mL} = 0.001 \, \text{L} \)
#### Solutions:
1. \( 7540 \, \text{g} = 7.54 \, \text{kg} \)
- \( 7540 \div 1000 = 7.54 \)
2. \( 4.9 \, \text{L} = 4900 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 4.9 \times 1000 = 4900 \)
3. \( 0.12 \, \text{kg} = 120 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 0.12 \times 1000 = 120 \)
4. \( 8935 \, \text{mL} = 8.935 \, \text{L} \)
- \( 8935 \div 1000 = 8.935 \)
5. \( \frac{1}{4} \, \text{L} = 250 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( \frac{1}{4} \times 1000 = 250 \)
6. \( 5 \frac{3}{4} \, \text{kg} = 5750 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 5 \frac{3}{4} = 5.75 \)
- \( 5.75 \times 1000 = 5750 \)
7. \( 0.58 \, \text{L} = 580 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 0.58 \times 1000 = 580 \)
8. \( 6.8 \, \text{kg} = 6800 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 6.8 \times 1000 = 6800 \)
9. \( 3.06 \, \text{L} = 3060 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 3.06 \times 1000 = 3060 \)
10. \( 22.5 \, \text{kg} = 22500 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 22.5 \times 1000 = 22500 \)
11. \( 1890 \, \text{mL} = 1.89 \, \text{L} \)
- \( 1890 \div 1000 = 1.89 \)
12. \( 10 \frac{3}{4} \, \text{kg} = 10750 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 10 \frac{3}{4} = 10.75 \)
- \( 10.75 \times 1000 = 10750 \)

Section 2: Identifying the Largest Amount
For each group, convert all values to the same unit and identify the largest.
#### Group 1:
- \( 1.15 \, \text{kg} \)
- \( 1100 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 900 \, \text{g} \)
Convert to grams:
- \( 1.15 \, \text{kg} = 1150 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 1100 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 900 \, \text{g} \)
Largest: \( 1.15 \, \text{kg} \) (or \( 1150 \, \text{g} \))
#### Group 2:
- \( 3 \frac{1}{4} \, \text{L} \)
- \( 3200 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 3290 \, \text{mL} \)
Convert to milliliters:
- \( 3 \frac{1}{4} \, \text{L} = 3.25 \, \text{L} = 3250 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 3200 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 3290 \, \text{mL} \)
Largest: \( 3290 \, \text{mL} \)
#### Group 3:
- \( 0.18 \, \text{kg} \)
- \( 125 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 0.3 \, \text{kg} \)
Convert to grams:
- \( 0.18 \, \text{kg} = 180 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 125 \, \text{g} \)
- \( 0.3 \, \text{kg} = 300 \, \text{g} \)
Largest: \( 0.3 \, \text{kg} \) (or \( 300 \, \text{g} \))
#### Group 4:
- \( 7680 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 7 \frac{3}{4} \, \text{L} \)
- \( 7090 \, \text{mL} \)
Convert to milliliters:
- \( 7680 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 7 \frac{3}{4} \, \text{L} = 7.75 \, \text{L} = 7750 \, \text{mL} \)
- \( 7090 \, \text{mL} \)
Largest: \( 7 \frac{3}{4} \, \text{L} \) (or \( 7750 \, \text{mL} \))
