Measurement of Length Measurement of Weight Conversions

Centimetre(cm)- It is the smaller unit of length. Milligram(mg)- It is 1 km = 1000 m
used to measure very 1 m = 1/1000 km
light things. 1 m = 100 cm
Gram(g)- It is 1 cm = 1/100 m
used to measure
Metre(m)-It is another unit lighter weight. 1 kg = 1000 g
of length used to measure 1 g = 1/1000 kg
the longer lengths. kilogram(kg)- It is
used to measure 1 L = 1000 mL
heavy weights. It is the 1 mL = 1/1000 L
Kilometre(km)-It is the standard unit of weight.
bigger unit of length used 141 km
to measure the bigger Addition
lengths.
