Question

493.6 cm= ? m

1.2 kg= ? g

0.0032 l= ? mL

0.186 km= ?

473.2 mL= ? l

723 mL= ? L

204.1 g= ? kg

4.3 L= ? mL

0.043 kg= ? g

im SOOO lost.

so thanks alot :)

Answer 1

there are:

100 cm in a m

1000 g in a g

1000 mL in a L

so, for the first one:

493.6 cm = 4.936 m (multiply by 100)

Answer 2

Oh sweetie.  A review.

c = centi = 1/100 (move the decimal  over 2 places) = 0.01 THING

k = kilo = 1000 (move the decimal over 3 places) = 1000 THING

m = milli = 1/1000 (move the decimal 3 places the other way) = 0.001 THING

So g = THING and m = THING and L = THING.  Forget what they really stand for, cuz we're just doing math here.

493.6 cm = ? m

Well, we know that with c we move the decimal over 2 places.  

4.936 m

How do we know which way to move it?  Meters are big, centimeters are little.  Something that is almost 500 cm is going to be 5 meters and not 50,000 meters, right?  Try to see it in your head.

1.2 kg = ? g

We're moving the decimal over 3 spaces.

1200 g

Why?  A kilogram is 1000 grams.  So multiply times 1000.

0.0032 L = ? mL

Moving the decimal 3 spaces the other way.

3.2 mL

Don't get confused by the numbers or the units, because all you're doing is moving that dot around :-)  Try to picture the amounts in your head:

Your neighborhood block is a km long (well not exactly but close enough)

Your arm is a meter long

Your fingernail is a centimeter long.

Think through it slowly, and you'll get it.

Good luck! <3
