Metric Units of Capacity and Mass
Metric Units of Capacity and Mass is a Grade 4 math skill in enVision Mathematics, Chapter 13: Measurement: Find Equivalence in Units of Measure. Students learn the metric system units for capacity (liters, milliliters) and mass (kilograms, grams) and convert between them.
Key Concepts
The metric system measures capacity using liters (L) and milliliters (mL) , and mass using kilograms (kg) and grams (g) . The relationships are based on the number 1,000.
Capacity: 1 liter is 1,000 times larger than 1 milliliter.
Common Questions
What are the metric units of capacity?
The metric units of capacity are liters and milliliters. 1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters. Liters are used for larger volumes and milliliters for smaller amounts.
What are the metric units of mass?
The metric units of mass commonly used are kilograms and grams. 1 kilogram equals 1,000 grams. Kilograms are used for larger masses and grams for smaller ones.
How do you convert liters to milliliters?
Multiply the number of liters by 1,000 to get milliliters. For example, 3 liters equals 3,000 milliliters.
How do you convert kilograms to grams?
Multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000 to get grams. For example, 2.5 kilograms equals 2,500 grams.
