Metric Measurement Conversion
A group is preparing supplies for a New Zealand tramping trip. Convert measurements carefully so the gear, water and food are packed in the right amounts. Show working where needed.
Convert and compare
Use the metric relationships: 1 km = 1,000 m; 1 m = 100 cm = 1,000 mm; 1 L = 1,000 mL; 1 kg = 1,000 g.
1.The route to the hut is 3.75 km. Convert this distance to metres.
2.A groundsheet is 2,400 mm long. Convert its length to metres.
3.A water container holds 1.35 L. How many millilitres is this?
4.The food bag has a mass of 2,650 g. Write this mass in kilograms.
5.Which is the greatest length: 0.95 m, 98 cm, 970 mm, or 0.009 km?
- 0.95 m
- 98 cm
- 970 mm
- 0.009 km
6.Put the four lengths in order from shortest to longest: 1.2 m, 118 cm, 1,250 mm, 0.00119 km. Use the number line to help compare them after converting to metres.
7.A group needs 4.5 L of water. Their bottle holds 750 mL. How many completely full bottles are needed to carry at least that much water?
8.A pack limit is 12 kg. Food weighs 3,450 g and cooking gear weighs 5.8 kg. How many kilograms of capacity remain?
9.Rawiri says, “0.6 km is the same as 600 cm.” Is she correct? Explain by converting 0.6 km to both metres and centimetres.
10.A recipe for trail mix needs 0.8 kg of oats and 350 g of dried fruit. What is the total mass in grams?
