Solutions to the highlighted problems

Question 01

(a) 3.6m (cm) 1m = 100 cm

means x 100

3.6 m x 100 = 360 cm

(b) 4500m (km) 1000m = 1 km

means ÷ 1000

4500m ÷ 1000 = 4.5km

(e) 4 550 000mm (km) 1000 mm = 1 m

means ÷ 1000

1000m = 1 km

means ÷ 1000

4 550 000mm÷1 000 000= 4.55km

(f) 5.2 cm (km) 100cm = 1 m

means ÷ 100

1000m = 1 km

means ÷ 1000

5.2cm ÷ 100 000= 0.000052km

Question 02

(e) 2 905 mg (kg) 1000mg = 1g

means ÷ 1000

1000g = 1kg

means ÷ 1000
2905mg ÷ 1000000 = 0.002905 kg

(f) 35mg (g) 1000mg = 1g

means ÷ 1000

35mg ÷ 1000 = 0.035g

Question 03

(a) 8500mL (L) 1000 mL = 1L

means ÷ 1000

8500mL ÷ 1000 = 8.5L

(f) 0.000 6kL (L) 1kL = 1000L

means x 1000

0.000 6 kL x 1000 = 0.6 kL

Question 04

(b) 0.595km2 (m2)

1 km2= 1 000 000 m2

means x 1 000 000

0.595km2

x 1 000 000 = 595 000 m2

Question 05

(a) 356 000cm3 (m3) 1 000 000 cm3 = 1m3

means ÷ 1 000 000

356 000cm3 = 0.356 m3

(b) 2.575 m3 (cm3) 1m3 =1 000 000 cm3

means x 1 000 000

2.575 m3 = 2 575 000 cm3
