Weight and Capacity

Weight is measured in different units

Weight is measured in different units: milligram (mg), gram (g), kilogram (kg), quintal, and tonne. The conversions are: 1,000 mg = 1 g, 1,000 g = 1 k

Different weighing scales show measurements differently

Different weighing scales show measurements differently. Some show only kg, some only grams, and others show both. We need to read the scale carefully

To convert larger units to smaller

To convert larger units to smaller units, we multiply (kg to g: multiply by 1,000). To convert smaller units to larger units, we divide (g to kg: divi

Capacity is measured in litres (l)

Capacity is measured in litres (l) and millilitres (ml). 1,000 ml = 1 litre. Capacity tells us how much liquid a container can hold. Small containers

We can add

We can add, subtract, multiply, and divide weights and capacities. When adding or subtracting, we work with like units (kg with kg, g with g). For mul
