AF2.1 Convert one unit of measurement to another (e.g., from feet to miles, from centimeters to inches).
California Standards
Holt CA Course 1
4-9 Metric MeasurementsYou can use the following benchmarks to help you understand millimeters, grams, and other metric units.

4-9 Metric Measurements
Choose the most appropriate metric unit for each measurement. Justify your answer.
A. The amount of water a runner drinks each day
Meters—The length of a boat is similar to the length of several doorways.
Liters—The amount of water a runner drinks each day is similar to the amount of water in a large water bottle.
Kilograms—The mass of a car is similar to the mass of several hundred textbooks.

The prefixes of metric units correlate to place values in the base-10 number system. The table shows how metric units are based on powers of 10.
You can convert units within the metric system by multiplying or dividing by powers of 10. To convert to a smaller unit, you must multiply. To convert to a larger unit, you must divide.

Move the decimal point 2 places left: 5.30.
Convert the measure.
530 cL to liters
530 cL = (530 ÷ 100) L100 cL = 1L, so divide by 100.
= 5.3 L

Additional Example 2B: Converting Metric Units
1,070 g = (1,070 1,000) mg1 g = 1000 mg, so multiply by 1000.
= 1,070,000 mgMove the decimal point 3 places right: 1,070.000.
Convert the measure.
1,070 g to milligrams

580 g = (580 100) cg1 g = 100 cg, so multiply by 100.
= 58,000 cgMove the decimal point 2 places right: 580.00.
Convert the measure.
580 g to centigrams

4-9 Metric Measurements Additional Example 3: Using Unit Conversion t to Make Comparisons
Eliza buys one pumpkin that has a mass of 3 kg and another that that has a mass of 2,150 g. Which pumpkin has the greater mass? Use estimation to explain why your answer makes sense.You can convert the mass of Eliza’s pumpkin to grams.
1 kg = 1000 g, so multiply by 1,000.3 kg = (3 1,000) g
Move the decimal point 3 places right: 3.000.
= 3,000 g
Since 3,000 g > 2,150 g, the 3 kg pumpkin has the greater mass.

Eliza buys one pumpkin that has a mass of 3 kg and another that that has a mass of 2,150 g. Which pumpkin has the greater mass? Use estimation to explain why your answer makes sense.
Check
Use number sense. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram, so the mass of the other pumpkin is about 2,000 g or 2 kg. 3 kg > 2 kg, so the answer is reasonable.

4-9 Metric MeasurementsCheck It Out! Example 3
Tyesha purchases a bag of potatoes that has a mass of 2.5 kg and Casey purchases a bag with a mass of 3,850 g. Which bag of potatoes has the greater mass?
You can convert the mass of Tyesha’s bag to grams.
1 kg = 1000 g, so multiply by 1,000.
2.5 kg = (2.5 1,000) g
Move the decimal point 3 places right: 2.500.
= 2,500 g
Tyesha’s 2,500 g bag of potatoes has a smaller mass.

Tyesha purchases a bag of potatoes that has a mass of 2.5 kg and Casey purchases a bag with a mass of 3,850 g. Which bag of potatoes has the greater mass?
Check
3,850 g is about 4000 g or 4 kg. 4 kg > 2.5 kg, so the answer is reasonable.
