Metric Measurement Conversion worksheet with exercises on unit abbreviations, conversions, and real-world applications.

I'll solve this metric measurement conversion worksheet step by step.

Part 1: Write the abbreviation for each measurement

- milliliter = mL
- kilogram = kg
- meter = m
- gram = g
- millimeter = mm
- liter = L
- kilometer = km
- second = s (or sec)
- centimeter = cm
- gram = g (already listed above)

Part 2: Complete the sentences with the appropriate unit

1. Soda may be purchased in two or three liters bottles.
2. The weight of a bowling ball is 7.25 kilograms.
3. The length of the common housefly is about 1 centimeter.
4. The mass of a paperclip is about 1 gram.
5. One teaspoon of cough syrup has a volume of 5 milliliters.
6. Stand with your arms raised out to your side. The distance from your nose to your fingertips when your arm is stretched is about 1 meter.
7. The distance you can run in 10 minutes is about 1 kilometer.

Part 3: Convert the following metric measurements

Let me work through each conversion carefully:

1. 1000 mg = 1 g (1000 mg ÷ 1000 = 1 g)
2. 198 g = 0.198 kg (198 ÷ 1000 = 0.198 kg)
3. 8 mm = 0.8 cm (8 ÷ 10 = 0.8 cm)
4. 160 cm = 1.6 m (160 ÷ 100 = 1.6 m)
5. 75 mL = 0.075 L (75 ÷ 1000 = 0.075 L)
6. 6.3 cm = 63 mm (6.3 × 10 = 63 mm)
7. 109 g = 0.109 kg (109 1000 = 0.109 kg)
8. 56 cm = 0.56 m (56 ÷ 100 = 0.56 m)
9. 5.6 m = 560 cm (5.6 × 100 = 560 cm)
10. 250 m = 0.25 km (250 ÷ 1000 = 0.25 km)
11. 5 L = 5000 mL (5 × 1000 = 5000 mL)
12. 26,000 m = 26 km (26,000 ÷ 1000 = 26 km)
13. 14 km = 14,000 m (14 × 1000 = 14,000 m)
14. 16 cm = 160 mm (16 × 10 = 160 mm)
15. 56,500 mm = 56.5 m (56,500 ÷ 1000 = 56.5 m)
16. 140 g = 0.14 kg (140 ÷ 1000 = 0.14 kg)
17. 65 g = 65,000 mg (65 × 1000 = 65,000 mg)
18. 275 mg = 0.275 g (275 ÷ 1000 = 0.275 g)
19. 480 m = 0.48 km (480 ÷ 1000 = 0.48 km)
20. 2500 m = 2.5 km (2500 ÷ 1000 = 2.5 km)
21. 923 m = 0.923 km (923 ÷ 1000 = 0.923 km)
22. 27 g = 27,000 mg (27 × 1000 = 27,000 mg)
23. 355 mL = 0.355 L (355 ÷ 1000 = 0.355 L)
24. 0.025 kL = 25 L (0.025 × 1000 = 25 L)
