Converting Metric Units Conversion Factors KiloCentiMilli 1000 g = 1kg100 cg = 1g1000 mg = 1g 1000 m = 1km100 cm = 1m1000 mm = 1m 1000 L = 1kL100 cL = 1L1000 mL = 1L

How many cm are in 1.32 meters? or 1.32 m= applicable conversion factors: equality:1 m = 100 cm ______1 m 100 cm Remember units must cancel! ______ 1 m 100 cm () ______ 1 m 100 cm 132 cm

How many liters is 8.72 mL? applicable conversion factors: 8.72 mL= equality:1 L = 1000 mL Again, the units must cancel. or ______1 L 1000 mL ______ 1 L 1000 mL () ______ L 1 L 1000 mL
