system to U.S. Customary System (values are approximate).
a. 1362 g
1 milligram = 0.000035 ounces = 0.015 grains
b. 3.2 kg (3.178)
1 gram = 0.035 ounces = 15 grains
c. 85.2 g
1 hectogram = 100 grams = 3.5 ounces = 0.22 pounds
d. 6.8 t (6.8025)
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds
1 metric ton = 2205 pounds = 1.1 short tons
Convert the following metric measurements to U.S. Customary Standard
units of weight.
a. 2.5 metric tons = ____________ tons (short)
b. 650 grams = ___________ ounces

centimeter (1 cm by 1 cm), the square meter (1 meter by 1 meter), the
are (10 meters by 10 meters), the hectare (100 meters by 100 meters),
a. 2.75 tons
and the square kilometer (1000 meters by 1000 meters).
b. 22.75 ounces
1 square meter = 10,000 square centimeters = 1 centare (0.01 are)
c. 8.8 pounds
1 are = 100 square meters
d. 35.2 ounces
1 hectare = 100 are = 10,000 square meters
(2.2 x 16)
1 square kilometer = 100 hectare = 10,000 are = 1,000,000 sq. meters
An area of 12 square kilometers contains
hectares
