It looks like you've uploaded an image of a math worksheet titled
"Metric Mania", which focuses on converting units within the
metric system. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll guide you through solving typical problems from such worksheets based on the text you provided.
Let me reconstruct and solve the problems as they likely appear in the image:

Metric Mania – English or Metric?
This worksheet helps students convert between metric units (e.g., millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, grams, kilograms, milliliters, liters) and understand when to use metric vs. English units.

Part A: Convert the following measurements.
Here are common conversion problems that appear on such worksheets:
1.
150 cm = ___ m
→ Since 1 meter = 100 cm:
$ 150 \div 100 = 1.5 $
✔ Answer: 1.5 m
2.
36 mm = ___ cm
→ 1 cm = 10 mm → $ 36 \div 10 = 3.6 $
✔ Answer: 3.6 cm
3.
4500 mL = ___ L
→ 1 L = 1000 mL → $ 4500 \div 1000 = 4.5 $
✔ Answer: 4.5 L
4.
8.7 kg = ___ g
→ 1 kg = 1000 g → $ 8.7 \times 1000 = 8700 $
✔ Answer: 8700 g
5.
9.2 km = ___ m
→ 1 km = 1000 m → $ 9.2 \times 1000 = 9200 $
✔ Answer: 9200 m
6.
1200 mg = ___ g
→ 1 g = 1000 mg → $ 1200 \div 1000 = 1.2 $
✔ Answer: 1.2 g

Part B: Choose the best unit for measuring each object.
These questions ask whether to use
mm, cm, m, km, g, kg, mL, L, etc.
Example:
- The length of a pencil →
cm
- The distance between two cities →
km
- The weight of a car →
kg
- The amount of water in a swimming pool →
L or kL
- The thickness of a coin →
mm

Part C: Word Problems
Let’s say one problem is:
>
A bottle contains 2.5 L of juice. How many milliliters is this?
→ $ 2.5 \times 1000 = 2500 $ mL
✔ Answer: 2500 mL
Another:
>
A person weighs 75 kg. What is their weight in grams?
→ $ 75 \times 1000 = 75,000 $ g
✔ Answer: 75,000 g

Key Metric Prefixes (to remember):
| Prefix | Symbol | Meaning | Example |
|--------|--------|---------|---------|
| kilo- | k | 1000 | 1 km = 1000 m |
| hecto- | h | 100 | 1 hm = 100 m |
| deka- | da | 10 | 1 dam = 10 m |
| (base) | | 1 | 1 m, 1 g, 1 L |
| deci- | d | 0.1 | 1 dm = 0.1 m |
| centi- | c | 0.01 | 1 cm = 0.01 m |
| milli- | m | 0.001 | 1 mm = 0.001 m |

Tips for Converting:
- Use the
"ladder method": Move the decimal point based on how many steps you go up or down.
- Example: Convert 5.6 m to cm → move 2 steps right (m → cm): 5.6 → 560 cm
