Measurements
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
So how do you convert ?
Coverting a Small unit e.g cm and a Large Unit e.g m  you divide
But
Coveting a Large unit e.g m to a small unit e.g cm you multiply
Imperial to Metric units
1 inch = 2.5cm
1 foot = 30cm
1kg = 2.2/2.3 pounds
1 gallon = 4 - 4.5 litres
1litre = 1.75 pints
8km is around 5 miles
