maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

  1. $445\ cm$

  2. $4450\ cm$

  3. $4.45\ cm$

  4. $4045\ cm$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We know that, $1$  $meter =100$  $cm$


To convert  $4$ $m$  $45$  $cm$  to  $centimeter$
Now, $4$ $m = 100 \times 4$  $cm$ $= 400$  $centimeter$
$4$ $m$  $45$  $cm$ $ = 4m + 45cm$
                      $ = 400cm + 45cm$
                      $ = 445cm$

So, Option $A$ is correct

A box contains $4$ bags of sugar. The total mass of all $4$ bags is $7$ kg. What is the mass of each bag in grams?

maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

  1. $1.75$ gms

  2. $17.50$ gms

  3. $175$ gms

  4. $1750$ gms

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Total number of Bags $=4$


Total mass in 4 Bags $=7 kg$

Total mass in $1$ bag $=\dfrac74 $   $kg$

We know that

$1$  $kg =1000$  $gram$

$1$  $gm =\dfrac1{1000}$  $kg$

we have to convert $\dfrac74$  $kg$  to   $grams$


$\dfrac74$  $kg =\dfrac74 \times 1000$  $gm$

                $=1750$  $gm$

So, Option $D $ is correct 

Steven goes to the grocery store and is looking at a winter squash. It has a mass of $1.8$ kilograms. How many grams is the winter squash? 

maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

  1. $1800$ gms

  2. $180$ gms

  3. $18$ gms

  4. $1.8$ gms

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Total mass of  Winter squash $=1.8$   $kilograms$

We know that

$1$  $kg =1000$  $gram$

$1$  $gm =\dfrac1{1000}$  $kg$

we have to convert $1.8$  $kg$  to   $grams$


$1.8$  $kg =1.8  \times 1000$  $gm$

                $=1800$  $gm$

So, Option $A $ is correct 

Convert $745$ cm into decimeters.

maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

  1. $745\ dm$

  2. $0\ dm\ 745\ cm$

  3. $7\ dm\ 45\ cm$

  4. $74\ dm\ 5\ cm$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We know that, $1$  $deci meter =10$  $cm$, $1$  $cm =\dfrac1{10}$  $dm$


$745$  $cm =\dfrac1{10} \times 745$  $dm$

                $=\dfrac{745}{10}   $  $dm$

                 $= 74.5$  $deci meter$  $= 74$  $dm$  $5 $ $cm$

So, Option $D$ is correct

Convert $328\ mm\ 45\ cm$ into meters.

maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

  1. $3.73\ m$

  2. $33.25\ m$

  3. $77.8\ m$

  4. $0.778\ m$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We know that $1$  $centimeter =10$  $mm$, $1$  $meter =100$  $cm$ and $1$  $meter =1000$  $mm$


or   $1$  $mm =\dfrac{1}{10}$  $cm$ or   $1$  $mm =\dfrac{1}{1000}$  $m$

To convert  $328$ $mm$ $45$  $cm$  to  $meters$

$328\ mm$ $45$  $cm$ $ = 328\ mm + 45cm$

$328$ $mm =\dfrac{1}{1000} \times 328$  $m$ $= 0.328$  $m$

$45$ $cm =\dfrac{1}{100} \times 4 5$  $m$ $= 0.45$  $m$


$328\ mm$ $45$  $cm$ $ = 328\ mm + 45\ cm  =   (0.328+0.45)  m$

                              $ = 0.778$  $m$

Rosy measured a line for his art project. It is $400$ millimeters long. How many centimeters is the line?

maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

  1. $40$ cm

  2. $4$cm

  3. $400$ cm

  4. $0.4$ cm

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The total length of the line is $400$ mm.
We know $1$  $\text{centimeter} =10$ $\text{millimeters}$
$1$ mm $=\dfrac1{10}$ cm
We have to convert the $400$ mm to cm.
$400$ mm $ =\dfrac1{10} \times 400$ cm
$=\dfrac{400}{10}   $ cm
$= 40  $   $\text{centimeter}$
The line is  $40$ cm long.
So, option A is correct.

Convert $3\ km\ 4\ m\ 350\ cm$ into centimetres.

maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

  1. $10750\ cm$

  2. $3750\ cm$

  3. $30750\ cm$

  4. $300750\ cm$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We know that, $1$  $kilometer =1000$  $m$


$1$  $meter =100$  $cm$ or   $1$  $kilometer =100,000$  $cm$

To convert  $3$ $km$ $4m$  $350$  $cm$  to  $centimeter$

$3$ $km$ $4\ m$ $350$ $cm$ $ =3km+ 4m + 350cm$

$3$ $km = 100000 \times 3$  $cm$ $= 300000$  $cm$

$4$ $m = 100 \times 4$  $cm$ $= 400$  $cm$

$\therefore 3$ $km$  $4m$ $350$  $cm$ $ =3km+ 4m + 350cm  =   (300000+400+350)  cm$
                                      $ = 300750cm$

Hence, option $D$ is correct.

Convert the following into metres:
$1436\ cm$

maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

  1. $1.436\ m$

  2. $14.36\ m$

  3. $143.6\ m$

  4. $1436\ m$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We know that


$1$  $meter =100$  $cm$

$1$  $cm =\dfrac1{100}$  $m$

Given That , we have to convert $1436$  $cm$ into $m$

$1436$  $cm =\dfrac{1}{100} \times 1436$  $m$

                $=14.36$  $m$

So, Option $B $ is correct
