MENSURATION AND GEOMETRY
CONVERTING CENTIMETERS TO
METERS.
CONCEPTS OF CENTIMETRES AND
METRES
Centimeter (cm) is a metric unit of length
that equals one hundredth of a meter.
That's, 100 cm = 1 m
Meter (m) is a metric unit of length that
equals one hundred of a centimeter. That's,
1 m = 100 cm.
Example 1
Convert 5 meters to centimeters
Solution
Since 1m = 100cm,
5m = 5 x 100cm = 500 cm
Example 2
Convert the following to centimeters
a) 3m 54cm.
b) 6.45m
Solution
a) 3m 54cm = 3 x 100cm + 54cm
= 300cm + 54cm
= 354cm
b) 6.45m = 6.45 x 100cm
= 645cm
Class Fun
Convert:
a) 4m to centimeters
b) 5m 93cm to centimeters
c) 2.35m to centimeters
Correction
a) 4m = 4 x 100cm
= 400cm
b) 5m 93cm = 5 x100cm + 93cm
= 500cm + 93cm
= 593cm
c) 2.35m = 2.35 x 100cm
= 235cm

MENSURATION AND GEOMETRY.
CONVERTING CENTIMETERS TO
METERS.
Example 3
Convert 700cm to meters
Solution
700cm = 700 ÷ 100
= 7m
Example 4
a) Convert 456cm to meters
b) Measure your class room white
board. Record and convert meters
your findings
Solution
456cm = 456cm ÷ 100
= 4.56m or 4m 56cm

Converting Grams to
Kilograms
Converting Grams to
Kilograms

To convert a measurement in
grams to a measurement in
kilograms,
Since one kilogram is equal to
1,000 grams, you can use this
simple formula to convert:
kilograms = grams ÷ 1,000
Example 1
A rice seller has a bag of rice that
weighs 5,000 grams. If he wants to
record the weight in kilograms, how
many kilograms does the bag of rice
weigh?

Solution

5000 g = (5,000 g ÷ 1,000)


= 5 kg
The bag of rice weighs 5 kilograms.
Example 2
Convert to kilograms:
a. 3 504 grams
b. 875 grams
Solution
a. 3 504 g = 3 504 ÷1000
= 3.504orkg3 kg 504 g
b. 875 g = 875 ÷ 1000
= 0.875 g

Converting kilograms to
grams
Converting Kilograms to
Grams

To convert a measurement in
kilograms to a measurement in
grams,
Since one kilogram is equal to
1,000 grams, you can use this
simple formula to convert:
kilograms = kilograms × 1,000
Example 1
A baker needs 7 kilograms of flour
to bake bread. If he wants to know
the weight in grams, how many
grams of flour does he need?
Solution
7 kg = 7 x 1 000 g
= 7 000 g
The baker needs 7,000 grams of
flour.
Example 2
Convert to grams
a) 62.532 kg
b) 5 kg 528 g
Solution
c) 62.532 kg = 62.532 × 1 000 g
= 62 532 g
b) 5 kg 528 g = 5 × 1 000 g + 528
g
= 5000 g + 278 g
= 5278 g
