Objective: Can you ensure you have made sufficient progress on Compound Measures?
(Grade D-B)
Compound Measures 6
Starter – Convert the following between metric and imperial units
20 feet to centimetres.
80 kilometres to miles.
72 litres to gallons.
12 pints to litres
600 centimetre
50 miles
16 gallons
6.86 litres (to 2 decimal places)

2. Complete the table using metric measures
kilometres
metres
grams
litres
kilograms
tonnes
millilitres
The length of the Nile river
The height of the world’s tallest tree
The weight of a chicken’s egg
The amount of petrol in a full tank of a car
The weight of a human being
The weight of a ship
The amount of water in a bottle

3. Metric Conversions Convert 4 metres to centimetres.
400cm
1.5 kg
30 mm
3.75 litres
Convert 4 metres to centimetres.
Convert 1500 grams to kilograms.
Convert 3 centimetres to millimetres.
Convert 3750 millilitres to litres.
Shay says 1.5 kilometres is less than 1400 metres.
Is she correct? Explain your answer.
1.5km = 1500m, therefore shay is not correct.

4. Speed, Distance and Time
Stuart drives 180 km in 2 hours 15 minutes. Work out Stuart’s average speed.
The distance from London to New York is 3456 miles. A plane takes 8 hours to fly from London to New York. Work out the average speed of the plane.
John travelled 30km in 1.5 hours. Kamala travelled 42km in 2hours. Who had the greater average speed?
80km/h
432 mph
30 ÷ 1.5 = 20 km/h 42 ÷ 2 = 21 km/h
So Kamala had the greater speed.

5. Speed, Distance and Time
4) There are 40 litres of water in a barrel. The water flows out of the barrel at a rate of 125 millilitres per second. 1 litre = 1000 millilitres Work out the time it takes for the barrel to empty.
40 x 1000 = millilitres
÷ 125 = 320 seconds or 5 minutes 20 seconds

7) Brian rides 22km in 2 hours 45 minutes. Calculate his speed?
Brian’s speed is 8km/h.

8. Density, Mass and Volume
The density of juice in 4 grams per cm3.
The density of water is 1 gram per cm3.
315cm3 of drink is made by mixing 15cm3 of juice and 300cm3 of water.
Work out the density of the drink.
86% of students could not answer this question in the GCSE’s because they could not remember the triangle
1.14 g/cm3

9. Density, Mass and Volume
The volume of a gold bar is 100cm3.
The density of gold is 19.3 grams per cm3.
Work out the mass of the gold bar.
19.3 x 100 = 1930g or 1.93 kg
