Starting Point Ending Point 4. 1 __. 2 3 = 4000 m

Counting Steps: How many steps is it from … 1. kilometers to centimeters: 5 steps 2. centimeters to millimeters:____________ 3. KL to L:________________ 4. m to mm______________ 5. millimters to centimeters:__________ 6. g to mg: _________________

Conversion practice: now apply step counting to these problems. Write down how many steps the conversion requires, then give the actual answer on the 2nd line Example: 3.5 m is how many cm? Steps: cm to m is 2 steps (remember, “m” by itself is the base unit, (b) Answer: 350 cm 7.37 grams is how many mg? Steps:__________ Answer:___________ kilograms is how many grams?
