Step-by-step solution for: Metric Conversion Worksheets - Math Monks
To solve these conversion problems, we need to use standard conversion factors between metric and US units. Here are the common ones we’ll use:
- 1 liter (L) ≈ 0.264172 gallons (gal)
- 1 gallon (gal) ≈ 3.78541 liters (L)
- 1 meter (m) ≈ 3.28084 feet (ft)
- 1 foot (ft) ≈ 0.3048 meters (m)
- 1 centimeter (cm) ≈ 0.393701 inches (in)
- 1 inch (in) ≈ 2.54 centimeters (cm)
- 1 kilometer (km) ≈ 0.621371 miles (mi)
- 1 mile (mi) ≈ 1.60934 kilometers (km)
- 1 gram (g) ≈ 0.035274 ounces (oz)
- 1 ounce (oz) ≈ 28.3495 grams (g)
- 1 kilogram (kg) ≈ 2.20462 pounds (lb)
- 1 pound (lb) ≈ 0.453592 kilograms (kg)
- 1 milliliter (mL) = 0.001 liters (L), and since 1 L ≈ 1.05669 quarts (qt), then 1 mL ≈ 0.00105669 qt
- 1 quart (qt) ≈ 946.353 milliliters (mL)
Now let’s go step by step for each problem.
---
1) 5 L = ___ gal
Multiply 5 by 0.264172 → 5 × 0.264172 = 1.32086
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 1.32 gal
---
2) 5 gal = ___ L
Multiply 5 by 3.78541 → 5 × 3.78541 = 18.92705
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 18.93 L
---
3) 30.5 m = ___ ft
Multiply 30.5 by 3.28084 → 30.5 × 3.28084 = 100.06562
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 100.07 ft
---
4) 75 cm = ___ in
Multiply 75 by 0.393701 → 75 × 0.393701 = 29.527575
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 29.53 in
---
5) 8.5 in = ___ cm
Multiply 8.5 by 2.54 → 8.5 × 2.54 = 21.59
→ 21.59 cm
---
6) 16.9 km = ___ mi
Multiply 16.9 by 0.621371 → 16.9 × 0.621371 = 10.5011699
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 10.50 mi
---
7) 27 g = ___ oz
Multiply 27 by 0.035274 → 27 × 0.035274 = 0.952398

---
8) 20 kg = ___ lb
Multiply 20 by 2.20462 → 20 × 2.20462 = 44.0924
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 44.09 lb
---
9) 3800 mL = ___ qt
First, convert mL to L: 3800 mL = 3.8 L
Then multiply by 1.05669 → 3.8 × 1.05669 = 4.015422
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 4.02 qt
Alternatively, directly: 3800 × 0.00105669 = 4.015422 → same result.
---
10) 1.3 qt = ___ mL
Multiply 1.3 by 946.353 → 1.3 × 946.353 = 1230.2589
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 1230.26 mL
---

Multiply 250 by 0.3048 → 250 × 0.3048 = 76.2
→ 76.20 m (to keep 2 decimals)
---
12) 180 in = ___ cm
Multiply 180 by 2.54 → 180 × 2.54 = 457.2
→ 457.20 cm
---
13) 100 lb = ___ kg
Multiply 100 by 0.453592 → 100 × 0.453592 = 45.3592
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 45.36 kg
---

Multiply 9.56 by 28.3495 → 9.56 × 28.3495 = 271.02122
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 271.02 g
---
15) 1.16 mi = ___ km
Multiply 1.16 by 1.60934 → 1.16 × 1.60934 = 1.8668344
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 1.87 km
---
16) 291.5 L = ___ gal
Multiply 291.5 by 0.264172 → 291.5 × 0.264172 = 77.006138
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 77.01 gal
---
17) 10 m = ___ ft
Multiply 10 by 3.28084 → 10 × 3.28084 = 32.8084
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 32.81 ft
---
18) 16.1 km = ___ mi
Multiply 16.1 by 0.621371 → 16.1 × 0.621371 = 10.0040731
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 10.00 mi
---
19) 283.5 g = ___ oz
Multiply 283.5 by 0.035274 → 283.5 × 0.035274 = 10.000179
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 10.00 oz
*(Note: This is very close to exactly 10 oz — likely designed that way!)*
---
20) 950 mL = ___ qt
Multiply 950 by 0.00105669 → 950 × 0.00105669 = 1.0038555
→ Round to 2 decimal places: 1.00 qt
*(Again, very close to 1 quart — probably intentional.)*
