Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Part 1: Convert the following
We’ll use metric conversion rules:
- 1 km = 1000 m → to convert m to km, divide by 1000
- 1 L = 1000 mL → to convert mL to L, divide by 1000; to convert L to mL, multiply by 1000
- 1 cm = 10 mm → to convert cm to mm, multiply by 10; to convert mm to cm, divide by 10
- 1 m = 100 cm → to convert cm to m, divide by 100; to convert m to cm, multiply by 100
- 1 kg = 1000 g → to convert g to kg, divide by 1000; to convert kg to g, multiply by 1000
---
1. 591 m = ____ km
→ Divide by 1000: 591 ÷ 1000 =
0.591
2. ____ L = 6720 mL
→ Divide by 1000: 6720 ÷ 1000 =
6.72
3. ____ mm = 13.3 cm
→ Multiply by 10: 13.3 × 10 =
133
4. 0.49 m = ____ cm
→ Multiply by 100: 0.49 × 100 =
49
5. 2700 g = ____ kg
→ Divide by 1000: 2700 ÷ 1000 =
2.7
6. 7.73 km = ____ m
→ Multiply by 1000: 7.73 × 1000 =
7730
7. ____ m = 923 cm
→ Divide by 100: 923 ÷ 100 =
9.23
8. 149 mm = ____ cm
→ Divide by 10: 149 ÷ 10 =
14.9
9. 27.15 L = ____ mL
→ Multiply by 1000: 27.15 × 1000 =
27150
10. ____ g = 3.17 kg
→ Multiply by 1000: 3.17 × 1000 =
3170

Part 2: Compare using <, >, or =
We need to make sure both sides are in the same unit before comparing.
---
1. 1 L ___ 960 mL
→ 1 L = 1000 mL → 1000 > 960 →
>
2. 1000 m ___ 1 km
→ 1 km = 1000 m → equal →
=
3. 920 m ___ 0.85 km
→ Convert 0.85 km to m: 0.85 × 1000 = 850 m → 920 > 850 →
>
4. 1200 g ___ 12 kg
→ Convert 12 kg to g: 12 × 1000 = 12000 g → 1200 < 12000 →
<
5. 4.5 cm ___ 47 mm
→ Convert 4.5 cm to mm: 4.5 × 10 = 45 mm → 45 < 47 →
<
6. 3.7 m ___ 370 cm
→ Convert 3.7 m to cm: 3.7 × 100 = 370 cm → equal →
=
7. 2.5 L ___ 250 mL
→ Convert 2.5 L to mL: 2.5 × 1000 = 2500 mL → 2500 > 250 →
>
8. 1850 g ___ 1.8 kg
→ Convert 1.8 kg to g: 1.8 × 1000 = 1800 g → 1850 > 1800 →
>
