ADDITIon AnD SUBTRACTIon of METRIC MEASURES

To add or subtract, first convert the given metric measures into the same units.

Example 1: Add the following. Be Aware
( a) 24 m 24 cm 8 mm and 7 m 12 cm 5 mm Units of measurement are

( b) 3 kg 7 hg 5 dag 3 g 4 dg 5 cg 2 mg and 5 kg 7 hg 2 added or subtracted in
the same way as we add or
dag 1 dg 4 cg 4 mg subtract counting numbers.
( c) 15 L 725 mL and 11 L 850 mL

Solution: ( a) 24 m 24 cm 8 mm and 7 m 12 cm 5 mm

m cm mm
24 24 8

+ 7 12 5
31 37 3

24 m 24 cm 8 mm + 7 m 12 cm 5 mm = 31 m 37 cm 3 mm

( b) 3 kg 7 hg 5 dag 3 g 4 dg 5 cg 2 mg + 5 kg 7 hg 2 dag 1 dg 4 cg 4 mg

kg hg dag g dg cg mg
3 7 5 3 4 5 2
+ 5 7 2 0 1 4 4

9 4 7 3 5 9 6

3 kg 7 hg 5 dag 3 g 4 dg 5 cg 2 mg + 5 kg 7 hg 2 dag 1 dg 4 cg 4 mg
= 9 kg 4 hg 7 dag 3 g 5 dg 9 cg 6 mg

( c) 15 L 725 mL + 11 L 850 mL
L mL
15 725

+ 11 850
27 575

15 L 725 mL + 11 L 850 mL = 27 L 575 mL
