Conversion of Measurement Units, deals with various concepts which are as under:-
- Convert km to m (kilometres to metres)
- Convert m to cm (metres to centimetres)
- Convert cm to mm (centimetres to millimetres)
- Convert m to km (metres to kilometres)
- Convert cm to m (centimetres to metres)
- Convert mm to cm (millimetres to centimetres)
- Convert kg to g (kilograms to grams)
- Convert g to kg (grams to kilograms)
- Convert L to mL (litres to millilitres)
- Convert mL to L (Millilitres to Litres)
Conversion of Measurement Units
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert km to m (kilometres to metres)
Example 1
Convert:
4 km = ___ m
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 km = 1000 m
To find 4 km in m. We have to multiply both sides by 4
( 4 x 1 ) km = ( 4 x 1000 ) m
4 km = 4000 m
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert m to cm (metres to centimetres)
Example 2
Convert:
5 m = ___ cm
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 m = 100 cm
To find 5 m in cm. We have to multiply both sides by 5
( 5 x 1 ) m = ( 5 x 100 ) cm
5 m = 500 cm
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert cm to mm (centimetres to millimetres)
Example 3
Convert:
3 cm = ___ mm
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 cm = 10 mm
To find 3 cm in mm. We have to multiply both sides by 3
( 3 x 1 ) cm = ( 3 x 10 ) mm
3 cm = 30 mm
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert m to km (metres to kilometres)
Example 4
Convert:
7000 m = ___ km
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 km = 1000 m
or 1000 m = 1km
then,
1 m = 1/1000 km
To find 7000 m in km. We have to multiply both sides by 7000
( 7000 x 1 ) m = ( 7000 x 1/1000 )km
7000 m = 7 km
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert cm to m (centimetres to metres)
Example 5
Convert:
1000 cm = ___ m
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 m = 100 cm
or 100 cm = 1m
then,
1 cm = 1/100 m
To find 1000 cm in m. We have to multiply both sides by 1000
( 1000 x 1 ) cm = ( 1000 x 1/100 )m
1000 cm = 10 m
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert mm to cm (millimetres to centimetres)
Example 6
Convert:
50 mm = ___ cm
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 cm = 10 mm
or 10 mm = 1cm
then,
1 mm = 1/10 cm
To find 50 mm in cm. We have to multiply both sides by 50
( 50 x 1 ) mm = ( 50 x 1/10 )cm
50 mm = 5 cm
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert kg to g (kilograms to grams)
Example 7
Convert:
13 kg = ___ g
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 kg = 1000 g
To find 13 kg in g. We have to multiply both sides by 13
( 13 x 1 ) kg = ( 13 x 1000 ) g
13 kg = 13000 g
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert g to kg (grams to kilograms)
Example 8
Convert:
4000 g = ___ kg
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 kg = 1000 g
or 1000 g = 1kg
then,
1 g = 1/1000 kg
To find 4000 g in kg. We have to multiply both sides by 4000
( 4000 x 1 ) g = ( 4000 x 1/1000 )kg
4000 g = 4 kg
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert L to mL (litres to millilitres)
Example 9
Convert:
8 L = ___ mL
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 L = 1000 mL
To find 8 L in mL. We have to multiply both sides by 8
( 8 x 1 ) L = ( 8 x 1000 ) mL
8 L = 8000 mL
Conversion of Measurement Units – Convert mL to L (Millilitres to Litres)
Example 10
Convert:
5000 mL = ___ L
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 L = 1000 mL
or 1000 mL = 1L
then,
1 mL = 1/1000 L
To find 5000 mL in L. We have to multiply both sides by 5000
( 5000 x 1 ) mL = ( 5000 x 1/1000 )L
5000 mL = 5 L
