a) What is the relationship between gram and

litre? - 1 kg = 1 litre thus 1000g = 1 litre b) What are the advantages of the metric units of measurements? - Easy to calculate - Commonly used in our routine - Easy to understand

c) Given that 1 mile =1.6 km. use a calculator to verify that a hectare is about 2.5 acres. Show all the step in your calculation.

d) Cullianan diamond, the largest diamond found in 1906 at the Premier Mine in South Africa, weighed 3106 carats. Estimate the weight of cullianan diamond in pounds. (Given that: 1 carat = 200mg, 2.21b = 1kg)

3106 x 200 mg = 621200 mg 621200 mg 100 = 6212 6.212kg 6.212 x 2.2lb = 13.666
