                            Units of Measurement

Metres to Centimetres

To change from metres to centimetres multiply by 100

(e.g) 2 m = 200 cm
(e.g) 4.1 m = 410 cm


Centimetres to Metres

To change from centimetres to metres divide by 100.
(e.g) 500 cm= 5m
(e.g) 3000 cm = 30m


Kilometres to Metres

To change from km to m, multiply by 1000.
(e.g) 25km = 25000m
(e.g) 3.2 km = 3200m

Metres to Kilometres

To change from m to km, divide by 1000.
(e.g) 45m= 0.045km
