try these conversions, using the ladder method.

1. 2000 mg = ____ g
2. 104 km = ____ m
3. 480 cm = ____ m
4. 5.6 kg = ____ g
5. 8 mm = ____ cm
6. 5 l = ____ ml
7. 198 g = ____ kg
8. 75 ml = ____ l
9. 50 cm = ____ m
10. 5.6 m = ____ cm
11. 16 cm = ____ mm
12. 2500 m = ____ km
13. 65 g = ____ mg
14. 6.3 cm = ____ mm
15. 120 mg = ____ g

Explanation:

Step1: Recall metric - unit abbreviations

Standard abbreviations are used.

Step2: For mg to g conversion (10)

Use conversion factor $1g = 1000mg$, so $2000mg=\frac{2000}{1000}g = 2g$.

Step3: For km to m conversion (11)

Since $1km = 1000m$, then $104km=104\times1000m = 104000m$.

Step4: For cm to m conversion (12)

As $1m = 100cm$, $480cm=\frac{480}{100}m = 4.8m$.

Step5: For kg to g conversion (13)

Given $1kg = 1000g$, $5.6kg = 5.6\times1000g=5600g$.

Step6: For mm to cm conversion (1[SSE Completed, Client Connection Error][LLM SSE On Failure]
