This topic will look at Conversion Problems from Metric to Metric. Metric-to-metric conversions involve changing a quantity from one metric unit of measure to another. For example, converting meters to centimetres or litres to millilitres.

To convert between metric units, all you need to know are the conversion factors, which are based on the metric system's base units. The base units for the metric system are metre, gram, and litre.

Here are some common conversion factors for metric-to-metric conversions:

1 kilometre (km) = 1000 metres (m)
1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)
1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm)
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
1 gram (g) = 1000 milligrams (mg)
1 litre (L) = 1000 millilitres (mL)
