Introduction to Measurement
A community market is being set up. Use metric units and show your working where needed. Give answers with units; round money to the nearest cent and other answers as instructed.
Choose and convert units
Use sensible metric units for each measurement.
1.A market stall table is 1.8 m long. Which unit is most suitable for recording its length?
- millimetres (mm)
- metres (m)
- kilometres (km)
- litres (L)
2.The baker weighs a tray of kūmara scones at 2.35 kg. Convert the mass to grams.
3.A drinks dispenser holds 7.5 L of lemon water. How many millilitres is this?
4.A walking route from the car park to the market is 1.26 km. Convert this distance to metres.
Measure the market setup
Use the measurements in each situation to plan accurately.
5.A rectangular banner is 2.4 m long and 0.9 m wide. Calculate its area in square metres.
6.A rectangular stall floor is 3.6 m long and 2.5 m wide. How much edging is needed to go all the way around it?
7.A storage crate measures 0.8 m by 0.5 m by 0.4 m. Find its volume in cubic metres.
8.True or false? The area of a market table can be reported in metres, because area measures length in one dimension. Correct the statement if it is false.
