1. Write the correct abbreviations for the units shown:
- 5 kilograms → 5 kg
- 30 milliliters → 30 mL
- 400 grams → 400 g
- 2 liters → 2 L
- 60 centimeters → 60 cm
- 750 milligrams → 750 mg
- 8 meters → 8 m
- 900 milliliters → 900 mL
2. By these conversions, using the metric system:
- 5,000 mg = 5 g
- 800 cm = 8 m
- 100 mm = 10 cm
- 2,000 mL = 2 L
- 1,000 g = 1 kg
- 300 cm = 3 m
- 4,000 mL = 4 L
- 7,000 g = 7 kg
- 600 cm = 6 m
- 5,000 mL = 5 L
- 9,000 g = 9 kg
- 2,000 cm = 20 m
3. Complete the following sentences to show which operation you would use and by what number you would multiply or divide:
- To convert from grams to kilograms, you would divide by 1000.
- To convert from milliliters to liters, you would divide by 1000.
- To convert from centimeters to meters, you would divide by 100.
- To convert from kilograms to grams, you would multiply by 1000.
- To convert from liters to milliliters, you would multiply by 1000.
- To convert from meters to centimeters, you would multiply by 100.
4. Circle the larger amount in each pair:
- 500 mL ○ 5 L → 5 L
- 15 cm ○ 150 mm → 150 mm (equal to 15 cm, but listed as option)
- 2 kg ○ 2,000 g → 2,000 g (equal to 2 kg, but listed as option)
