How do you convert larger unit to smaller unit and vice versa?
When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit there will
be more of them, so multiply by the conversion factor; eg km to m:
there a 1000m in 1 km, so multiply by 1000 so 2.4 km = 2.4 x 1000 m
= 2400 m
When converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit there will
be less of them so divide by the conversion factor; eg m to km:
there are 1000m in 1 km so divide by 1000, so 2400 m = 2400 ÷ 1000
km = 2.4 km
