gud? good.
1 meter = 1,000 cm
( yard = 0.91m)
0.91m = 910 cm
1000cm - 910cm = 90 cm
--
3.5kg = 3,500 g
(1 pound = 453.6 grams)
5.0 lb = 2,268 grams
3,500g - 2,268g = 1,232 grams

easy: 1m = 100 cm. 1 yd = 3*12 in, and 1 in = 2.54 in.
so 1 m = 100 cm, 1 y = (36*2.54) cm
1 m/1 yd = 100/(36*2.54)
damn, forgot to write the other down.. 1 kg = 2.2 (ish) lbs...

All you need to know is the conversion factors.
1m = 100cm (which is the answer to your first question)
1yd = 3ft
1ft = 12 inches
1 inch = 2.54cm
Therefore, 1yd = 3*12*2.54cm = 91.44cm
That means 1cm = 0.01094yd
THAT means.... 100cm = 1.094 yd
1kg = 1000 grams
1 pound = 453.59 grams
you do the rest.
