Remember

$$1\,cm = 10\,mm$$

$$1 mm = \dfrac{1}{{10}}\,cm$$

1. $$2 mm = \dfrac{2}{{10}}\,cm$$

$$\therefore \,\,2 mm = 0.2\,cm$$

1. $$30 mm = \dfrac{{30}}{{10}}\,cm$$

$$\therefore \,\,30mm = 3\,cm$$

1. $$116 mm = \dfrac{{116}}{{10}}\,cm$$

$$\therefore \,\,116 mm = 11.6\,cm$$

1. $$4\,cm 2 mm = \left[ {4 + \dfrac{2}{{10}}} \right]\,cm$$

$$\therefore \,\,4\,cm 2 mm = 4.2\,\,cm$$

1. $$162 mm = \dfrac{{162}}{{10}}\,cm$$

$$\therefore \,\,162 mm = 16.2\,cm$$

$$\Rightarrow \,\,\dfrac{{100}}{{1000}} = 0.1$$

$$\therefore \,\,\,100$$ g $$=$$ $$0.1$$ kg.

1. $$3750$$

$$\Rightarrow \,\,3750 \times \dfrac{1}{{1000}}$$

$$\Rightarrow \,\,\dfrac{{3750}}{{1000}} = 3.750$$

$$\therefore \,\,\,3750$$ g $$=$$ $$3.750$$ kg.

1. $$5$$ kg $$8$$

$$\Rightarrow \,\,5 + 8 \times \dfrac{1}{{1000}}$$

$$\Rightarrow \,\,5 + \dfrac{8}{{1000}} = 5 + 0.008 = 5.008$$

$$\therefore \,\,\,5$$ kg $$8$$ g $$=$$ $$5.008$$ kg.

1. $$26$$ kg $$50$$

$$\Rightarrow \,\,26 + 50 \times \dfrac{1}{{1000}}$$

$$\Rightarrow \,\,26 + \dfrac{{50}}{{1000}} = 26 + 0.050 = 26.05$$
