CONVERSIONSCONVERSIONS

■ WE KNOW,WE KNOW,1000 g = 1 kg1000 g = 1 kg1 kg = 500 g + 500 g1 kg = 500 g + 500 g500 g= 250 g + 250 g 500 g= 250 g + 250 g

it means,it means,1 kg = (250 g + 250 g)+(250 g +250 g ) 1 kg = (250 g + 250 g)+(250 g +250 g )

= 4 x 250 g= 4 x 250 g1 kg = 10 x 100 g1 kg = 10 x 100 g

EXPRESSING cm to mEXPRESSING cm to mWE KNOW

100 cm = 1 m

THIS MEANS

500 cm = 5 m

700 cm = 7 m

475 cm = 400 cm + 75 cm

= 4m 75 cm

789 cm = 700 cm + 89 cm

= 7 m 89 cm

EXPRESSING m to cmEXPRESSING m to cm

1 m = 100 cm1 m = 100 cm

THIS MEANS,THIS MEANS,5 m = 500 cm5 m = 500 cm2 m = 200 cm2 m = 200 cm

8 m = 800 cm8 m = 800 cm1m 80 cm = 100 cm + 80 cm1m 80 cm = 100 cm + 80 cm

= 180 cm= 180 cm

6 m 45 cm = 600 cm + 45 cm6 m 45 cm = 600 cm + 45 cm

= 645 cm= 645 cm3 m 6 cm = 300 cm + 6 cm3 m 6 cm = 300 cm + 6 cm

= 306 cm= 306 cm

9 m 9 cm = 900 cm + 9 cm9 m 9 cm = 900 cm + 9 cm= 909 cm= 909 cm

EXPRESSING m to kmEXPRESSING m to km

We know ,We know ,

1000 m = 1 km1000 m = 1 kmSo,So,

2000 m = 2 km2000 m = 2 km

7000 m = 7 km7000 m = 7 km4000 m = 4 km4000 m = 4 km

7358 m = 7000 m + 358 m7358 m = 7000 m + 358 m = 7 km 358 m= 7 km 358 m

4309 m = 4000 m + 309 m4309 m = 4000 m + 309 m = 4 km 309 m= 4 km 309 m

2500 m = 2000 m + 500 m2500 m = 2000 m + 500 m = 2 km 500m= 2 km 500m

EXPRESSING km to mEXPRESSING km to m

If 1000 m = 1 km , then 500 m = ½ kmIf 1000 m = 1 km , then 500 m = ½ km

So,So,5 ½ km = 5 km + ½ km5 ½ km = 5 km + ½ km

= 5000 m + 500 m= 5000 m + 500 m =5500 m=5500 m
