Study Notes
Converting Units
- Converting units involves changing measurements from one unit to another (e.g., from centimeters to meters).
- Equivalent metric units refer to the relationships between different units of measurement (e.g., how many centimeters are in a meter).
Equivalent Metric Units
- Linear measurements: 1 meter = 100 centimeters, 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters
- Mass measurements: 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams
- Capacity measurements: 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters, 1 centiliter = 10 milliliters
Converting Measurements
- To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit, multiply.
- To convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide.
- Example 1: Converting 200 meters to centimeters - 200 x 100 = 20,000 centimeters
- Example 2: Converting 4,000 millimeters to meters - 4,000 ÷ 1,000 = 4 meters
- Example 3: Converting 3,000 grams to kilograms - 3,000 ÷ 1,000 = 3 kilograms
- Example 4: Converting 24 centiliters to milliliters - 24 x 10 = 240 milliliters
