Let's solve each of the metric unit conversion problems step by step. We'll convert between units of mass, length, and capacity using the standard metric prefixes:

---

🔁 Conversion Rules:



#### Capacity (Volume):
- 1 L = 1000 mL
- So, to convert L → mL, multiply by 1000
- To convert mL → L, divide by 1000

#### Mass:
- 1 kg = 1000 g
- So, to convert kg → g, multiply by 1000
- To convert g → kg, divide by 1000

#### Length:
- 1 m = 100 cm
- 1 cm = 10 mm
- So:
- 1 m = 1000 mm
- 1 cm = 10 mm
- To convert mm → cm, divide by 10
- To convert cm → mm, multiply by 10

Now, let’s go through each problem:

---

1. 494 L = ______ mL
→ 494 × 1000 = 494,000 mL

2. 2.07 L = ______ mL
→ 2.07 × 1000 = 2,070 mL

3. 7.3 L = ______ mL
→ 7.3 × 1000 = 7,300 mL

4. 20.6 L = ______ mL
→ 20.6 × 1000 = 20,600 mL

5. 97.6 L = ______ mL
→ 97.6 × 1000 = 97,600 mL

6. 0.70 L = ______ mL
→ 0.70 × 1000 = 700 mL

7. 8.3 L = ______ kL
→ 1 kL = 1000 L → so divide by 1000
→ 8.3 ÷ 1000 = 0.0083 kL

8. 39.2 kg = ______ g
→ 39.2 × 1000 = 39,200 g

9. 935 kg = ______ g
→ 935 × 1000 = 935,000 g

10. 45.8 g = ______ mL
This is not a valid conversion — grams (mass) and milliliters (volume) are different units.
However, for water, 1 g ≈ 1 mL, so we assume it's water:
45.8 mL (assuming density of water)

11. 1,667 mL = ______ L
→ 1,667 ÷ 1000 = 1.667 L

12. 18,924 g = ______ kg
→ 18,924 ÷ 1000 = 18.924 kg

13. 39,523 g = ______ kg
→ 39,523 ÷ 1000 = 39.523 kg

14. 39,917 mm = ______ cm
→ 39,917 ÷ 10 = 3,991.7 cm

15. 28,737 mL = ______ L
→ 28,737 ÷ 1000 = 28.737 L

16. 3,234 mm = ______ cm
→ 3,234 ÷ 10 = 323.4 cm

17. 18,941 g = ______ kg
→ 18,941 ÷ 1000 = 18.941 kg

18. 21,251 mm = ______ cm
→ 21,251 ÷ 10 = 2,125.1 cm

19. 5,786 mL = ______ L
→ 5,786 ÷ 1000 = 5.786 L

20. 38,464 mL = ______ L
→ 38,464 ÷ 1000 = 38.464 L

5. 97,600 mL
6. 700 mL
7. 0.0083 kL
8. 39,200 g
9. 935,000 g
10. 45.8 mL *(assuming water)*
11. 1.667 L
12. 18.924 kg
13. 39.523 kg
14. 3,991.7 cm
15. 28.737 L
16. 323.4 cm
17. 18.941 kg
18. 2,125.1 cm
19. 5.786 L
20. 38.464 L

📝 Notes:


- Problem #10 involves converting grams to milliliters, which is only valid if the substance has a density of 1 g/mL (like water). In real-world contexts, this may not hold, but in basic math worksheets, it's usually assumed.
- Always check the units and ensure you're using correct conversion factors.
