Units of Measurement Practice Problems and Conversions

Remember that one kilometer equals 1000 meters.

Therefore 8 kilometers equals 8*1000 meters.

The answer is 8000 meters.

In order to answer this question, one must understand that one dollar is equivalent to 100 cents.

Therefore, one dollar is 0.01 cents.

0.18 dollars, therefore, is 18 cents.

You can also achieve this if we multiply by 100.

0.18*100=18

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given measurement of $5 \text{ cm}$.
• Step 2: Use the conversion factor from centimeters to millimeters, which is $1 \text{ cm} = 10 \text{ mm}$.
• Step 3: Multiply the number of centimeters by the conversion factor: $5 \text{ cm} \times 10 \text{ mm/cm} = 50 \text{ mm}$.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Our initial measurement is $5 \text{ cm}$.
Step 2: We know that $1 \text{ cm} = 10 \text{ mm}$.
Step 3: By multiplying $5 \text{ cm}$ by $10 \text{ mm/cm}$, we obtain $50 \text{ mm}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $50 \text{ mm}$, which matches choice 4.

To solve this problem, we need to apply the following step:

• Convert the given length from meters to centimeters using the conversion factor.

Let's work through this:

The conversion factor between meters and centimeters is $1\text{ m} = 100\text{ cm}$. Therefore, to convert $7$ meters to centimeters, we multiply by this factor:

$7 \text{ m} \times 100 \text{ cm/m} = 700 \text{ cm}$

Thus, the length of $7$ meters is equivalent to $700$ centimeters.

The correct choice that matches this result is choice $2$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Convert centimeters to meters.
• Step 2: Convert meters to kilometers.

Let us work through each step in detail:

Step 1: Convert centimeters to meters.
We know that $1 \, \text{m} = 100 \, \text{cm}$. To convert 5000 centimeters to meters, we divide by 100:
$5000 \, \text{cm} \div 100 = 50 \, \text{m}$

Step 2: Convert meters to kilometers.
We know that $1 \, \text{km} = 1000 \, \text{m}$. To convert 50 meters to kilometers, we divide by 1000:
$50 \, \text{m} \div 1000 = 0.05 \, \text{km}$

Therefore, the distance of 5000 centimeters is equivalent to $0.05 \, \text{km}$.
