Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re converting between metric units — meters, kilometers, milliliters, liters, grams, kilograms, centimeters, and millimeters.
Remember these key conversions:
- 1 km = 1,000 m
- 1 m = 100 cm
- 1 cm = 10 mm
- 1 L = 1,000 ml
- 1 kg = 1,000 g
When going from smaller to larger unit → divide by 1,000 (or 100 or 10 depending on the units).
When going from larger to smaller unit → multiply by 1,000 (or 100 or 10).

1a. 2,000 m = ___ km
→ Divide by 1,000 → 2,000 ÷ 1,000 =
2 km
1b. 9 km = ___ m
→ Multiply by 1,000 → 9 × 1,000 =
9,000 m
---
2a. 9,000 ml = ___ L
→ Divide by 1,000 → 9,000 ÷ 1,000 =
9 L
2b. 3 kg = ___ g
→ Multiply by 1,000 → 3 × 1,000 =
3,000 g
---
3a. 6 L = ___ ml
→ Multiply by 1,000 → 6 × 1,000 =
6,000 ml
3b. 90 mm = ___ cm
→ Divide by 10 → 90 ÷ 10 =
9 cm
---
4a. 6 cm = ___ mm
→ Multiply by 10 → 6 × 10 =
60 mm
4b. 4 km = ___ m
→ Multiply by 1,000 → 4 × 1,000 =
4,000 m
---
5a. 1,000 m = ___ km
→ Divide by 1,000 → 1,000 ÷ 1,000 =
1 km
5b. 2,000 g = ___ kg
→ Divide by 1,000 → 2,000 ÷ 1,000 =
2 kg
---
6a. 50 mm = ___ cm
→ Divide by 10 → 50 ÷ 10 =
5 cm
6b. 400 cm = ___ m
→ Divide by 100 → 400 ÷ 100 =
4 m
---
7a. 4 L = ___ ml
→ Multiply by 1,000 → 4 × 1,000 =
4,000 ml
7b. 3 km = ___ m
→ Multiply by 1,000 → 3 × 1,000 =
3,000 m
---
8a. 10,000 g = ___ kg
→ Divide by 1,000 → 10,000 ÷ 1,000 =
10 kg
8b. 2 cm = ___ mm
→ Multiply by 10 → 2 × 10 =
20 mm
---
9a. 10,000 m = ___ km
→ Divide by 1,000 → 10,000 ÷ 1,000 =
10 km
9b. 9,000 g = ___ kg
→ Divide by 1,000 → 9,000 ÷ 1,000 =
9 kg
---
10a. 4,000 g = ___ kg
→ Divide by 1,000 → 4,000 ÷ 1,000 =
4 kg
10b. 8,000 ml = ___ L
→ Divide by 1,000 → 8,000 ÷ 1,000 =
8 L
---
