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.
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 you convert from a small unit to a large unit what happens to the number of units?
The number of larger units is less than the number of smaller ones. EX: 130 cm == 1.3 m; 130 centimeters converts to 1.3 meters.
When going from larger to smaller units of measurement do you always divide?
No, never.
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.
Do you divide to convert meters?
That depends on what you are converting from. If you are converting from larger units, you multiply. If you are converting from smaller units, you divide.
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.
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.
How do you convert a given unit to larger unit and its answer?
You have to multiply by the conversation ratio.
In the metric system basic units on multiplied or divided by what amount to get larger and smaller units?
In the metric system, basic units are multiplied or divided by powers of ten to obtain larger or smaller units. For example, to convert from meters to kilometers, you divide by 1,000 (10^3), and to convert from millimeters to meters, you multiply by 1,000. This consistent use of base ten makes calculations straightforward and easy to follow.

When changing from smaller to larger units the number of units will?
The number of units will decrease and if it is going from largest to smallest the number of units will increase.
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.
How do you convert larger units to bigger units?
Multiply by 1.00 . The same factor also produces greater units.
