Measurement Conversions — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 8 meters = 800 centimeters
1 m = 100 cm. 8 × 100 = 800 cm.
2. 6,000 grams = 6 kilograms
1 kg = 1,000 g. 6,000 ÷ 1,000 = 6 kg.
3. 9 liters = 9000 milliliters
1 L = 1,000 mL. 9 × 1,000 = 9,000 mL.
4. 4 kilometers = 4000 meters
1 km = 1,000 m. 4 × 1,000 = 4,000 m.
5. 350 centimeters = 3 meters and 50 centimeters
350 cm = 3 meters and 50 centimeters (100 cm = 1 m; 350 ÷ 100 = 3 R50).
6. 12,000 milliliters = 12 liters
1 L = 1,000 mL. 12,000 ÷ 1,000 = 12 L.
7. 25 centimeters = 250 millimeters
1 cm = 10 mm. 25 × 10 = 250 mm.
8. 8,000 meters = 8 kilometers
1 km = 1,000 m. 8,000 ÷ 1,000 = 8 km.
9. 3,500 grams = 3 kilograms and 500 grams, so whole kilograms = 3
3,500 g = 3 kg and 500 g (3,000 g = 3 kg; 500 g remaining). Whole kilograms = 3.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
5 km
→ 5,000 m
3,000 mL
7 kg
→ 7,000 g
5,000 m
3 L
→ 3,000 mL
2 m
200 cm
→ 2 m
7,000 g
5 km = 5,000 m; 7 kg = 7,000 g; 3 L = 3,000 mL; 200 cm = 2 m.
