Let's solve the
"Convert metric units of length" worksheet step by step. This is a Grade 6 math exercise that involves converting between
centimeters (cm),
meters (m), and
millimeters (mm) using metric unit conversions.
🔢 Key Conversion Facts:
-
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)
-
1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)
- Therefore:
-
1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm
-
1 cm = 10 mm
---
We’ll go through each problem one by one.
---
1. 37 cm = ______ mm
→ Since 1 cm = 10 mm, multiply by 10:
37 × 10 = 370 mm
✔ Answer: 370 mm
---
2. 927 cm = ______ m
→ Since 100 cm = 1 m, divide by 100:
927 ÷ 100 = 9.27 m
✔ Answer: 9.27 m
---
3. 598 m = ______ cm
→ 1 m = 100 cm, so multiply by 100:
598 × 100 = 59,800 cm
✔ Answer: 59,800 cm
---
4. 20 m = ______ cm
→ 20 × 100 =
2,000 cm
✔ Answer: 2,000 cm
---
5. 914 m = ______ cm
→ 914 × 100 =
91,400 cm
✔ Answer: 91,400 cm
---
6. 58 m = ______ cm
→ 58 × 100 =
5,800 cm
✔ Answer: 5,800 cm
---
7. 863 m = ______ cm
→ 863 × 100 =
86,300 cm
✔ Answer: 86,300 cm
---
8. 626 mm = ______ cm
→ 10 mm = 1 cm → divide by 10:
626 ÷ 10 = 62.6 cm
✔ Answer: 62.6 cm
---
9. 38 m = ______ cm
→ 38 × 100 =
3,800 cm
✔ Answer: 3,800 cm
---
10. 771 cm = ______ m
→ Divide by 100:
771 ÷ 100 = 7.71 m
✔ Answer: 7.71 m
---
11. 18 m = ______ mm
→ 1 m = 1000 mm → 18 × 1000 =
18,000 mm
✔ Answer: 18,000 mm
---
12. 442 cm = ______ mm
→ 1 cm = 10 mm → 442 × 10 =
4,420 mm
✔ Answer: 4,420 mm
---
13. 34 m = ______ mm
→ 34 × 1000 =
34,000 mm
✔ Answer: 34,000 mm
---
14. 646 m = ______ mm
→ 646 × 1000 =
646,000 mm
✔ Answer: 646,000 mm
---
15. 704 m = ______ cm
→ 704 × 100 =
70,400 cm
✔ Answer: 70,400 cm
---
16. 584 m = ______ cm
→ 584 × 100 =
58,400 cm
✔ Answer: 58,400 cm
---
17. 830 cm = ______ mm
→ 830 × 10 =
8,300 mm
✔ Answer: 8,300 mm
---
18. 23 m = ______ cm
→ 23 × 100 =
2,300 cm
✔ Answer: 2,300 cm
---

📌 Tips for Remembering Conversions:
-
To convert to smaller units (e.g., m → cm or cm → mm): Multiply
-
To convert to larger units (e.g., mm → cm or cm → m): Divide
- Use the metric ladder:
km → hm → dam → m → dm → cm → mm
Each step is ×10 or ÷10
