Did you know Metric units are the most common measurements today They measure in Centimeters (cm) & Millimeters (mm) or Kilometres (km) & Meters (m). |
|
|
|
You also convert measurements in many ways from meters to centimetres |
|
|
|
Length -------------- 1km = 1000m 1m = 100cm = 1000mm 1cm = 10mm |
|
|
|
Weight 1 tonne = 1000kg 1kg = 1000g 1g = 1mg ------------ |
|
|
|
|
Capacity ---------------- ---------------- 1l = 100cl= 1000ml 1cl = 10ml |
