  • Use multiplication to convert larger units (L) to smaller units (mL)

  • Use division to convert smaller units (mL) to larger units (L)

Topic: Metric Units of Mass

  • Metric units of mass are: gram (g) and kilogram (kg)

  • Gram (g) is used for small masses and kilogram (kg) is used for large masses
