How do you convert a given unit to larger unit and its answer?

You have to multiply by the conversation ratio.


Lin is changing from smaller units to lager units what operation should she use explain?

To change from a smaller unit to a larger unit, you have to divide. For example, 100 centimetres is equal to 1 metre.


Why it ms sense to multiply when you convert to a smaller unit?

It makes sense to multiply when converting measurements to smaller units because it takes many smaller units to make up a larger unit. So in order to translate larger unit(s) into smaller units, you have to break up the larger unit(s) into many smaller pieces.


Why do you divide to change a smaller unit to a larger unit?

Because the number of larger units will be less than the number of smaller units, and when you divide the answer is usually smaller than the number you started with.


When measuring with different units will it take more of a smaller unit than a larger unit to reach the same capacity?

more smaller units than the bigger units


When changing from large si units to smaller units what mathematical operation is used?

When changing from a larger unit to a smaller unit, there will be more of them, so you will multiply.


Why do you decrease the value if you use a larger unit and increase the value for a smaller unit?

Because, for any given amount, there are fewer larger units that will go into that amount.


Smaller units to larger units do you divide?

If the question refers to converting from a smaller unit such as inch or centimetre to a larger unit such as foot or metre, the answer is Yes, you divide the number - in these examples by 12 or 100 respectively.


Do you use a centimeter to measure a length?

Yes, as well as other units. A centimetre is OK for things that range in size from a pencil to a large desk. For smaller objects I would use a millimetre (or smaller unit) and for longer objects a metre or larger units. Yes, as well as other units.

Why do you use division to change a smaller unit to a larger unit in conversions?

There are lots of small units in each big unit. As a result, the number of small units is greater and to go from a greater number to a smaller number you need to divide by a number which is biiger than 1.Alternatively, to change a smaller unit to a larger unit you can always multiply by a number which is between 0 and 1.


Why do you multiply to change from a larger unit to a smaller unit?

Example. (meters to millimeters) There are more millimeters in a metre(1000 to be precise) Therefore you multiply by 1000 to get from metres to millimeters That is wrong we don't want an example You have multiply because the larger unit has to broken down into plenty of smaller measurements or units. When you do that the number is multiplied into many smaller units.


Are you converting from a smaller to larger unit or larger to smaller unit converting millimeters to meter?

You convert to a larger unit. Smaller to larger. Metre is 1000 times larger than a millimetre
