This math topic focuses on measurement conversion within the metric system, involving mass units with emphasis on decimals conversions largely from smaller to base units or base to very large units. Problems engage learners in converting between different scales: grams, kilograms, centigrams, and hectograms. Each question provides multiple-choice answers, requiring students to apply knowledge of metric mass conversion. The skills practiced include understanding how to scale between smaller and larger metric measurements using compound unit conversion and developing competency in dealing with mass measurements in metric units with accurate decimal placement.
