Math Quiz Review: Capacity, Mass and Volume by Katherine

Capacity and Mass

• Units to capacity are used to measure liquids or gases and the containers that hold them
• 1 t = 1 000 kg (1 kg = 0.001 t)
• 1 kg = 1 000 g (1 g = 0.001 kg)
• 1 g = 1 000 mg (1 mg = 0.001 g)

Measurement

• 10 000 cm2 = 1 m2

Volume

• Units of volume are used to measure the space an object takes up
• 1 cm3 = 1 mL
• 1 m3 = 1 000 L
• 1 000 cm3 = 1 L
• 1 000 mL = 1 L
• 1 m3 = 1 000 000 cm3 
• 1 m = 100 cm
• 1 cm = 10 mm
