What else can I help you with?
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
What operation is used to bigger unit to smaller unit?
To convert from a bigger unit to a smaller unit, you typically use multiplication. This is because smaller units fit into larger units multiple times. For example, to convert kilometers to meters, you multiply the number of kilometers by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer.
Are you converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit or from a larger unit to a smaller unit?
The answer to that one is going to depend on two things:-- what unit you are converting from-- what unit you are converting to
Why do you multiply to change a larger unit to a smaller unit?
to get a unit
When you convert from a bigger unit to a smaller unit do you multiply or divide?
multiply
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
How do you convert from a smaller metric unit to a larger metric unit?
you divide the smaller # into the bigger #----
When you convert a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit of measure do you multiply the smaller unit?
Yes, when converting a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit, you multiply by the appropriate conversion factor. This is because there are more smaller units in the same quantity of the larger unit. For example, to convert meters to centimeters, you multiply by 100, since there are 100 centimeters in a meter.
Do you multiply or divide to change from a larger unit to a smaller unit?
To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit you would multiply. Ex: 5 km = 5000 m Where 1 km = 1000 m <><><><><> It depends on which factor you are multiplying or dividing by. It can go either way. To convert from ounces to grams, for instance, you can divide by 28.350, or you can multiply by 0.035273.
How do you convert a given unit to larger unit and its answer?
You have to multiply by the conversation ratio.
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.
It you convert kilometers to meters will it be a lager or small number?
Larger, since the meter is the smaller unit.
Which way should you move the decimal point to convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit in the metric system?
You move it to the left. As the unit gets larger, the base number gets smaller. One gram would be .001 kilograms. A kilogram is much larger than a gram, so the base number would be smaller to make up for being represented by a larger unit.
What operation is used to bigger unit to smaller unit?
To convert from a bigger unit to a smaller unit, you typically use multiplication. This is because smaller units fit into larger units multiple times. For example, to convert kilometers to meters, you multiply the number of kilometers by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer.
Why does it make sense to divide when you convert a measurement to a larger unit?
Because when you convert to a larger unit, you know that you will wind up with less of them, and if you divide by a number greater than ' 1 ', then the quotient is always a smaller number than you started with.
What operation do you use if you want to change a larger unit to a smaller unit?
To change a larger unit to a smaller unit, you would typically divide by the conversion factor. For example, to convert 1 meter to centimeters, you would multiply by 100 (as 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters).
What comes before grams?
Decagram if going from larger unit to smaller unit, and decigram if from smaller to larger.
