Chart for metric capacity and mass conversions?

Answer 1

Mass and CapacityCapacity is another word for volume, which is the amount of space occupied by an object. Both mass and volume are extensive attributes of an object; that is, both depend upon the amount of stuff you have.

Mass and capacity are independent of each other. A more massive (heavier) object made of a certain substance -- think gold -- may occupy far less space than a less massive (lighter) one made from a different substance -- think Styrofoam.

But if you have objects made of the same substance, then a relationship between the two attributes can be established. The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume is called its mass density. The formula is simple: P = m/v, where P (the Greek letter rho) is the density. For example, if you have a ten kilograms of stuff and it occupies two cubic meters (of space), its mass density is five kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3).

So, to calculate mass density, divide an object's mass by its volume. Further, if you know an object's mass density and its volume, you can calculate its mass, and if you know an object's mass density and its mass, you can calculate its volume.

Answer 3

Here are some common metric capacity and mass conversions:

Capacity:

• 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
• 1 liter ≈ 33.814 fluid ounces
• 1 gallon ≈ 3.785 liters

Mass:

• 1 gram = 1000 milligrams
• 1 kilogram = 1000 grams
• 1 pound ≈ 0.453592 kilograms

These conversions can be charted for easy reference and calculation.
