Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.86 Metric Length Measurement and Estimation skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Why is 75 centimeters a reasonable estimate for a skateboard but 75 meters is not?
AA skateboard is an object you can carry, so centimeters fit; 75 meters is longer than many rooms.
BMeters are always smaller than centimeters.
CSkateboards are usually measured in kilometers.
DSeventy-five meters and 75 centimeters are the same length.
Solution & Explanation:Centimeters are useful for hand-held or small objects. Seventy-five meters would be much too long for a skateboard.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A garden plot is 6 meters long. A carrot row uses 250 centimeters, and a bean row uses 2 meters. How much length is unused?
A50 centimeters
B100 centimeters
C150 centimeters
D450 centimeters
Solution & Explanation:Six meters is 600 centimeters and 2 meters is 200 centimeters. Used length is 250 + 200 = 450 centimeters, so 600 - 450 = 150 centimeters remain.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A measuring tape is 2 meters long. A picture frame is 85 centimeters wide. Which statement is true?
AThe tape is more than twice the frame's width.
BThe tape is shorter than the frame.
CThe tape and frame are the same length.
DThe frame is 200 centimeters wide.
Solution & Explanation:Two meters is 200 centimeters. Twice 85 centimeters is 170 centimeters, and 200 is greater than 170.
