Most common conversions used in real life:
1. Length:
\(1 \ km = 1000 \ m\)
\(1 \ m = 100 \ cm\)
\(1 \ m = 1000 \ mm\)
\(1 \ cm = 10 \ mm\)
2. Weight:
\(1 \ kg = 1000 \ g\)
\(1 \ g = 1000 \ mg\)
3. Volume (Capacity):
\(1 \ kl = 1000 \ l\)
\(1 \ l = 1000 \ ml\)
Example:
1. Convert \(25.38 \ km\) to \(m\).
\(1 \ km = 1000 \ m\)
To convert higher unit to lower unit, we need to multiply by power of \(10\)'s.
\(25.38 \times 1000 = 25380\)
Therefore, \(25.38 \ km = 25380 \ m\).
2. Convert \(955 \ mg\) to \(g\).
To convert lower unit to higher unit, we need to divide by power of \(10\)'s.
\(1 \ g = 1000 \ mg\)
\(g = 1 \ mg\)
\(= 0.955 \)
Therefore, \(955 \ mg = 0.955 \ g\).
3. Express \(56 \ ml\) in \(l\).
To convert lower unit to higher unit, we need to divide by power of \(10\)'s.
\(1 \ l = 1000 \ ml\)
\(ml = 1 \ l\)
\(= 0.056 \)
Therefore, \(56 \ ml = 0.056 \ l\).
