Metric Conversion Worksheet - Free Printable

Looking at the image, this is a metric conversion worksheet titled “CONVERTING METRIC UNITS – WEIGHT & VOLUME 1”. It has three main sections:

---

## 🔢 SECTION 1: CONVERTING METRIC UNITS (WEIGHT & VOLUME)

You’re asked to convert between kilograms (kg), grams (g), liters (L), and milliliters (mL).

✔ Conversion Rules:

- 1 kg = 1000 g
- 1 L = 1000 mL

---

📝 SOLUTIONS FOR SECTION 1:

| Question | Conversion | Answer |
|----------|------------|--------|
| 1) 1 kg = ___ g | 1 × 1000 = 1000 | 1000 g |
| 2) 2 kg = ___ g | 2 × 1000 = 2000 | 2000 g |
| 3) 3 kg = ___ g | 3 × 1000 = 3000 | 3000 g |
| 4) 6 kg = ___ g | 6 × 1000 = 6000 | 6000 g |
| 5) 5 kg = ___ g | 5 × 1000 = 5000 | 5000 g |
| 6) 8 kg = ___ g | 8 × 1000 = 8000 | 8000 g |
| 7) 1 L = ___ mL | 1 × 1000 = 1000 | 1000 mL |
| 8) 2 L = ___ mL | 2 × 1000 = 2000 | 2000 mL |
| 9) 3 L = ___ mL | 3 × 1000 = 3000 | 3000 mL |
| 10) 4 L = ___ mL | 4 × 1000 = 4000 | 4000 mL |
| 11) 5 L = ___ mL | 5 × 1000 = 5000 | 5000 mL |
| 12) 4 L = ___ mL | 4 × 1000 = 4000 | 4000 mL |

✔ All answers are multiples of 1000 based on the metric system.

## 🔍 SECTION 2: CIRCLE THE LARGEST AMOUNT IN EACH BOX

You’re given 4 boxes with mixed units (kg, g, L, mL). You must convert everything to the same unit to compare.

Box 1: 1 kg, 100 g, 500 g

→ Convert all to grams:
- 1 kg = 1000 g
- 100 g = 100 g
- 500 g = 500 g
✔ Largest: 1 kg (1000 g)

Box 2: 2 L, 1900 mL, 2000 mL

→ Convert all to milliliters:
- 2 L = 2000 mL
- 1900 mL = 1900 mL
- 2000 mL = 2000 mL
✔ Largest: 2 L or 2000 mL — both equal. Circle 2 L (as it’s listed first).

Box 3: 600 g, 4 kg, 3500 g

→ Convert all to grams:
- 600 g = 600 g
- 4 kg = 4000 g
- 3500 g = 3500 g
✔ Largest: 4 kg (4000 g)

Box 4: 3 L, 3050 mL, 3200 mL

→ Convert all to milliliters:
- 3 L = 3000 mL
- 3050 mL = 3050 mL
- 3200 mL = 3200 mL
✔ Largest: 3200 mL

## ➕ SECTION 3: USE >, <, OR = TO COMPARE AMOUNTS

Convert both sides to the same unit before comparing.

---

Row 1:

1) 1 L ___ 90 mL
→ 1 L = 1000 mL → 1000 mL > 90 mL → >

2) 2000 mL ___ 2 L
→ 2 L = 2000 mL → 2000 mL = 2000 mL → =

3) 1 kg ___ 1 L
→ Trick question! kg measures mass, L measures volume. But in context of water or similar density, 1 kg ≈ 1 L. However, strictly speaking, they are different units. In elementary math worksheets, they often treat them as equivalent for comparison. So: =

---

Row 2:

4) 2 kg ___ 1500 g
→ 2 kg = 2000 g → 2000 g > 1500 g → >

5) 4000 mL ___ 4 L
→ 4 L = 4000 mL → =

6) 3 kg ___ 7000 g
→ 3 kg = 3000 g → 3000 g < 7000 g → <

---

Row 3:

7) 2000 g ___ 2 kg
→ 2 kg = 2000 g → =

8) 3 L ___ 2500 mL
→ 3 L = 3000 mL → 3000 mL > 2500 mL → >

9) 2000 mL ___ 3 kg
→ Again, mixing volume and mass. If we assume water: 2000 mL = 2 kg → 2 kg < 3 kg → <

---

Row 4:

10) 5 kg ___ 4500 g
→ 5 kg = 5000 g → 5000 g > 4500 g → >

11) 10 L ___ 3100 mL
→ 10 L = 10,000 mL → 10,000 mL > 3100 mL → >

12) 3 kg ___ 3 L
→ Assuming water equivalence → =

## 💡 TEACHING NOTE:
This worksheet reinforces:
- Metric conversions (×1000 between kg/g and L/mL)
- Comparing quantities by converting to common units
- Understanding that mass ≠ volume, but sometimes treated as equal for water-based problems in elementary school.
