This document provides information on converting between metric measurement units of length, mass, and capacity. It includes: - Prefixes used in the metric system and their meanings (e.g. kilo = thousand) - Basic metric units of length (meter), mass (kilogram), and capacity (liter) - Conversion formulas and examples for converting between kilometers to meters, grams to kilograms, liters to milliliters, and vice versa using multiplication or division. - Worked examples converting between units of length, mass, and capacity.

5. Meter- is a basic unit of
the length.
Kilometer- is used
measure long distances.

6. Basic Conversion Rule:
- To convert from a Larger
unit to a Smaller unit ….
(Multiply) To convert from a
Smaller unit to a Larger
unit…(Divide)

7. 1 km= 1000m
1dm= 10cm
km x1000 m x100cm x10mm
1000 100m 10cm

8. “CONVERT WEIGHT AND MASS UNITS”
From one unit of measure to another
KILOGRAM- Is the basic unit of mass in
the metric system, and for heavy object.
MILIGRAMS/GRAMS-For the light object
1kg= 1000g

9. Example:
Tessie buys 5 kilograms of
pork meat. What is the weight of
the pork meat in grams?
Solution: Multiply to change
kilogram to gram.

10. 5kg=
___________________
5X1000= 5000g
5kg= 5000g, Therefore the
pork meat is about 5000g.

11. Example:
Sharon used 1500g of
chicken legs and wings for her
adobo recipe. What is the
equivalent weight of the chicken in
kilograms?
Solution: Divide to change grams
to kilograms.

12. 1500g =
____________
1500g ÷ 1000 = 1.5
1500g= 1.5 kg
Therefore the chicken
used is about 1.5 kg.

13. Convert Capacity from one unit of
measure another .
 Capacity is the amount of
container will hold.
 The liter (L) is the basic metric
unit of capacity.
The milliter (mL) is a metric unit of
capacity used to measure small
amount. =1L is equal to 1000mL

14. Convert Capacity from one unit of
measure another .
 Capacity is the amount of
container will hold.
 The liter (L) is the basic metric
unit of capacity.
The milliter (mL) is a metric unit of
capacity used to measure small
amount. =1L is equal to 1000mL

15. Example:
 Alvin prepares 3 liters of
calamasi juice. How many
milliliters of calamansi juice does
he have?
 Solution:
Multiply to change liters to
milliliters.

16. 3L= _______________ mL
3X1000= 3000
3L = 3000mL calamansi juice
Changing Smaller units to a
Larger unitts.
Example:
Norma pours 1200 milliliters of
liquid soap in a basin. How
many liters of liquid soap are in
the basin?

17. Solution: Divide to change mL
to liters.
1200mL=_________________
1200÷1000 = 1.2 L

18. 1. Paul bought 3L of cooking oil,
How many milliliters of
cooking oil did he buy?
3L = 3000 mili.
3X1000 = 3000

19. 2. Jan bought 5000 milliliters of
distilled water coast 15 Pesos how
much would e change if he handed
In 100 pesos?
5000mL _____________
15X5 -100
75- 100
25 Pesos.
