Answer key · Convert mass and capacity units
1. 6
1000 g = 1 kg, so divide by 1000.
6000 ÷ 1000 = 6, so 6000 g = 6 kg.
2. 5
1000 mL = 1 L, so divide by 1000.
5000 ÷ 1000 = 5, so 5000 mL = 5 L.
3. 8
1000 g = 1 kg, so divide by 1000.
8000 ÷ 1000 = 8, so 8000 g = 8 kg.
4. 7
1000 mL = 1 L, so divide by 1000.
7000 ÷ 1000 = 7, so 7000 mL = 7 L.
5. 7
1000 g = 1 kg, so divide by 1000.
7000 ÷ 1000 = 7, so 7000 g = 7 kg.
