Volume unit
conversion is done in the same way as the length and volume units and
the units of our numeration system.
Each
unit has a value ten times larger than the unit on the right and ten times
smaller than the unit on the left.
You
have to notice in which direction the unit jumps in order to move the
decimal point in the same way.

This
activity shows a measurement expressed in a certain unit and on
the right you will find the unit to do the conversion.
Type
the resulting number in the small window below.
After
typing the number hit Enter.
If
your answer is correct, this number will appear. If it isn't, try
again.

When you
click on Init, a different activity will appear, do several conversions
until you master unit conversion.

A tonne
equals 1000 kilograms, so when converting tonnes into kilograms,
we multiply it by 1000. In order to do this, you have to move the
decimal point
three steps to the right. When
converting kilograms into tonnes, we divide it by 1000. In order to
do this, you have to move the comma three steps to the left.
