In this activity, we are going to learn how to change measurements into smaller units.
Things we need to know:
l = litre
ml = millilitre
There are 1,000 m in 1 km
To convert from km to m, we multiply by 1,000
There are 1,000 ml in 1 litre
To convert from ml to l, we multiply by 1,000

Example
Change the distance from kilometres into metres.
2.5 km = ____ metres
Answer
There are 1,000 m in 1 km, so we multiply by 1,000.
2.5 km = 2.5 x 1,000 = 2,500 m
Example 2
Change the measure from litres to millilitres
3 l = ____ ml
Answer
There are 1,000 ml in 1 l, so we multiply by 1,000.
3 l = 3 x 1,000 = 3,000 ml
Are you happy with this and ready to try some questions?
