In this activity, we will be converting measures from one unit of measure to another.
For these questions, and indeed for all your maths work way into the future(!), it will be useful to remember the following facts:
Lengths/Distances
10 millimetres (mm) = 1 centimetre (cm)
100 centimetres (cm) = 1 metre (m)
1,000 metres (m) = 1 kilometre (km)
Mass/Weight
1,000 grams (g) = 1 kilogram (kg)
Capacity
1,000 millilitres (ml) = 1 litre (l)
Looking at those facts above, can you guess what the prefix 'kilo' means?
It means 1,000 which makes it easier to remember some of these measurements.
Right then, let's get started and see how we get on converting some measures using the information above!

Question
Do you want to skip questions and finish?
Hold up, it looks like there may be an issue with your spelling. Why not try it again?
You need to check your answer before you proceed. Are you sure you want to skip?
