Good Afternoon!Today we will be learning about

Metric Units of Capacity

Let’s warm up :

Estimate length of the following in meters:

1) 185 centimeters

2) 29 decimeters

3) Convert 900 centimeters to meters

4) Convert 5 kilometers to meters

1) 2 meters

2) 3 meters

3) 9 meters

4) 5,000 meters

Let’s review what we did in the previous chapter

Centimeters (cm), millimeters (mm), decimeters (dm), and kilometers (km) are

used to measure length in the metric system.

Metric Units of Length

10 millimeters (mm) = 1 centimeter (cm)

10 centimeters (cm) = 1 decimeter (dm)

100 centimeters = 1 meter (m)

1,000 meters = 1 kilometer (km)

Simple Conversion Tables

Convert meters to millimeters

To change to a smaller unit, multiply.

Example: How many millimeters is 4 meters?

We are given,

4 meter = __ millimeter 4 x 1,000 = 4,000

4 meter = 4,000 millimeter

4 meter is equal to 4,000 millimeter .

Convert centimeters to meters

To change to a Larger unit, divide.

Example: How many meters is 500 centimeters ?

We are given,

500 centimeters = __ meters 500 ÷ 100 = 5

500 centimeters = 5 meters

500 centimeters is equal to 5 meters .

Estimate and measure length

To estimate and measure length of an object:

Use a centimeter ruler, meter stick or tape measure to measure objects.

Choose the appropriate Metric unit.

Estimate the length to the nearest unit with the help of the mark closest to the end of the object.

ESTIMATE: An answer that is close to the exact answer.

12 x 779 = 9,348

12 x 800 = 9,600 Estimate

Review

Estimate length of 478 centimeters in meters

478 centimeters closest to 500 centimeters.

500 centimeters = 500 ÷ 100 meters

= 5 meters

So, the estimated length of 478 centimeters is 5 meters.

Today we will learn about the Metric Units of Capacity

Capacity: A measure of a dry or liquid volume of a container.

Ounces are customary units of measurement.

Milliliters are metric units.

Metric Units of Capacity

1,000 milliliters (ml) = 1 liter (L)

Simple Conversion Tables

CONFIDENTIAL 11

Convert liters to milliliters

To change to a smaller unit, multiply.

Example: How many milliliters is 4 liters?

We are given,

4 liters = __ milliliters 4 x 1,000 = 4,000

4 liters = 4,000 milliliters

4 liters is equal to 4,000 milliliters .

CONFIDENTIAL 12

Convert milliliters to liters

To change to a Larger unit, divide.

Example: How many liters is 5,000 milliliters ?

We are given,

5,000 milliliters = __ liters5,000 ÷ 1000 = 5

5,000 milliliters = 5 liters

5,000 milliliters is equal to 5 liters .

CONFIDENTIAL 13

Convert liters to milliliters

To change to a smaller unit, multiply.

Example: How many milliliters is 7 liters?

We are given,

7 liters = __ milliliters 7 x 1,000 = 7,000

7 liters = 7,000 milliliters

7 liters is equal to 7,000 milliliters .

CONFIDENTIAL 14

Convert milliliters to liters

To change to a Larger unit, divide.

Example: How many liters is 12,000 milliliters ?

We are given,

12,000 milliliters = __ liters12,000 ÷ 1000 = 12

12,000 milliliters = 12 liters

12,000 milliliters is equal to 12 liters .
