multiply
because you have to multiply to break it down into a smaller number
Centimeters are smaller ,right? If you multiply , it will get bigger, if u divide it gets smaller, divide.
When changing from a larger unit to a smaller unit, there will be more of them, so you will multiply.
divide
For the same reason that you can multiply two proper fractions and get a smaller number than either of them. You are multiplying either decimal by a number that is smaller than 1. As a result you get an answer that is smaller than 1 times the first number.

It's because decimals are really fractions and all numbers get smaller when you multiply them by fractions.

Multiply the two smaller numbers and see if they equal the larger number.
The numbers that multiply to get 22 are 1 and 22, as well as 2 and 11. This is because 1 multiplied by 22 equals 22, and 2 multiplied by 11 also equals 22. These are the only pairs of numbers that can multiply to equal 22, as 22 is a prime number and cannot be factored into smaller whole numbers.
It is larger because the two whole numbers form a greater, larger number when multiplpied together. It is smaller when u multiply a whole number by a fraction because a fraction is a decimal and u get a smaller number when multiplying a number like 1/7 of 5
