Study Notes
Converting Between Meters And Centimeters
- 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)
- To convert meters to centimeters, multiply by 100
- To convert centimeters to meters, divide by 100
Examples:
- 5 m = 5 x 100 = 500 cm
- 250 cm = 250 ÷ 100 = 2.5 m
Kilometers To Meters
- 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
- To convert kilometers to meters, multiply by 1000
- To convert meters to kilometers, divide by 1000
Examples:
- 3 km = 3 x 1000 = 3000 m
- 4500 m = 4500 ÷ 1000 = 4.5 km
Millimeters To Centimeters
- 1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)
- To convert millimeters to centimeters, divide by 10
- To convert centimeters to millimeters, multiply by 10
Examples:
- 50 mm = 50 ÷ 10 = 5 cm
- 7 cm = 7 x 10 = 70 mm
Converting Units Of Length In Everyday Situations
- Real-world examples:
- Measuring the length of a room (meters)
- Measuring the width of a book (centimeters)
- Measuring the thickness of a paper (millimeters)
- Convert between units to solve problems in everyday situations
Word Problems Involving Length Conversion With Decimals
- Examples:
- A bookshelf is 2.5 meters long. How long is it in centimeters?
- 2.5 m x 100 = 250 cm
- A pencil is 15.2 centimeters long. How long is it in millimeters?
- 15.2 cm x 10 = 152 mm
- A bookshelf is 2.5 meters long. How long is it in centimeters?
- When converting between units with decimals, follow the same conversion rules as above
- Be careful when working with decimals to ensure accurate conversions
