Step-by-step solution for: Metric Conversion Worksheet
Let’s work through the problems step by step.
---
Part 1: Converting Metric Units – Length
We need to fill in the blanks using metric conversions:
Remember:
- 1 cm = 10 mm
- 1 m = 100 cm
- 1 km = 1000 m
So:
1) ___ mm = 1 cm → 10 mm
2) 1 km = ___ m → 1000 m
3) 1 m = ___ cm → 100 cm
4) 3 cm = ___ mm → 3 × 10 = 30 mm
5) 4 km = ___ m → 4 × 1000 = 4000 m
6) ___ mm = 5 cm → 5 × 10 = 50 mm
7) ___ cm = 2 m → 2 × 100 = 200 cm
8) ___ km = 2000 m → 2000 ÷ 1000 = 2 km
9) 6 m = ___ cm → 6 × 100 = 600 cm
10) ___ mm = 8 cm → 8 × 10 = 80 mm
11) ___ m = 800 cm → 800 ÷ 100 = 8 m
12) 7 m = ___ cm → 7 × 100 = 700 cm
✔ All done for Part 1.

Part 2: Which is the most? Circle the largest amount in each box.
We compare values in each column — convert them all to same unit (let’s use meters or centimeters as needed).
Column 1:
- 1 m
- 1 km = 1000 m ← LARGEST
- 1 cm = 0.01 m
→ Already circled correctly: 1 km
Column 2:
- 1 km = 1000 m
- 2000 m ← LARGEST
- 3000 cm = 30 m
→ So, 2000 m is largest
Column 3:
- 2 m = 200 cm
- 400 cm ← LARGEST
- 700 mm = 70 cm
→ So, 400 cm is largest
Column 4:
- 5 km = 5000 m
- 6000 cm = 60 m
- 4000 m ← LARGEST
→ So, 4000 m is largest
Wait — let’s double-check Column 4:
- 5 km = 5000 m
- 6000 cm = 60 m
- 4000 m
Yes, 5000 m > 4000 m → so actually 5 km is largest!
I made a mistake earlier. Let me correct:
Column 4:
- 5 km = 5000 m
- 6000 cm = 60 m
- 4000 m
So 5000 m (which is 5 km) is bigger than 4000 m → so 5 km is largest.
But wait — looking back at the image, it says “Circle the largest amount in each box.” And in the first column, they already circled “1 km” which is correct.
In column 4, we have:
- 5 km
- 6000 cm
- 4000 m
Convert all to meters:
- 5 km = 5000 m
- 6000 cm = 60 m
- 4000 m
So 5000 m > 4000 m → 5 km is largest.
But in the original sheet, no circle is shown for column 4 — we are supposed to find it.
So corrected answers for Part 2:
Column 1: 1 km ✔ (already circled)
Column 2: 2000 m
Column 3: 400 cm
Column 4: 5 km
Wait — but 5 km = 5000 m, and 4000 m is less → yes, 5 km is largest.
Actually, hold on — maybe I misread the columns.
Looking again:
The table has 4 columns:
First column:
1 m
1 km ← circled
1 cm
Second column:
1 km
2000 m
3000 cm
Third column:
2 m
400 cm
700 mm
Fourth column:
5 km
6000 cm
4000 m
So for second column:
1 km = 1000 m
2000 m
3000 cm = 30 m → so 2000 m is largest → correct.
Third column:
2 m = 200 cm
400 cm
700 mm = 70 cm → 400 cm is largest → correct.
Fourth column:
5 km = 5000 m
6000 cm = 60 m
4000 m → 5000 m is largest → so 5 km
But wait — 5000 m vs 4000 m → yes, 5000 is bigger.
So final circles should be:
Col1: 1 km
Col2: 2000 m
Col3: 400 cm
Col4: 5 km
But in the problem, only col1 is circled — we are to do the rest.
Okay, moving on.

Part 3: Use >, <, or = to compare amounts
Again, convert both sides to same unit.
1) 3 km vs 2000 m
3 km = 3000 m → 3000 > 2000 → >
2) 1000 m vs 1 km
1 km = 1000 m → =
3) 5 cm vs 50 mm
5 cm = 50 mm → =
4) 300 m vs 3 km
3 km = 3000 m → 300 < 3000 → <
5) 7 m vs 500 cm
7 m = 700 cm → 700 > 500 → >
6) 6 cm vs 80 mm
6 cm = 60 mm → 60 < 80 → <
7) 30 mm vs 3 cm
3 cm = 30 mm → =
8) 800 cm vs 7 m
7 m = 700 cm → 800 > 700 → >
9) 40 cm vs 4 m
4 m = 400 cm → 40 < 400 → <
10) 5 km vs 4900 m
5 km = 5000 m → 5000 > 4900 → >
All verified.

Now, since the user did not request explanation, teaching, or practice tasks, we skip those sections.
Final Answer will include all answers from Part 1, Part 2 (the largest in each column), and Part 3 (the symbols).
But note: The question doesn’t specify what exactly to output — but since it’s a worksheet, likely expects all filled-in answers.
However, the instruction says: “Provide only the final correct answer — this should come AFTER all explanations and reasoning.”
And since ExplainAnswer, TeachTopic, GeneratePractice are all false, we just give Final Answer with all solutions.
But how to format? Probably list them clearly.
Let’s organize:
