Converting Between Metric Units - You can use proportions or the ladder method to help you divide or multiply by powers of 10. Problems to solve at the end of the page. Ladder Method KILO 1000 HECTO 100 DEKA 10 Basic Unit DECI 0.1 CENTI 0.01 MILLI 0.001 To convert to a larger unit, move the decimal point to the left or divide. To convert to a smaller unit, move the decimal point to the right or multiply. How do you use the "ladder" method? 1st - Determine your starting point. 2nd - Count the "jumps" to your ending point. 3rd - Move the decimal the same number of jumps in the same direction. Metric Conversion Challenge Write the correct abbreviation for each metric unit. 1 Kilogram 2 Meter 3 Gram 4 Milliliter 5 Millimeter 6 Liter 7 Kilometer 8 Centimeter 9 Milligram Try these conversions, using the ladder method. 10) 2000 mg = _______ g 11) 104 km = _______ m 12) 480 cm = _______ m 13) 5.6 kg = _______ g 14) 8 mm = _______ cm 15) 5 L = _______ mL 16) 198 g = _______ kg 17) 75 mL = _______ L 18) 50 cm = _______ m 19) 5.6 m = _______ cm 20) 16 cm = _______ mm 21) 2500 m = _______ km 22) 65 g = _______ mg 23) 6.3 cm = _______ mm 24) 120 mg = _______ g
