Is 2 lb bigger or smaller than 42 oz?
Convert to same units, then a comparison can be made: 1 lb = 16 oz → 2 lb = 2 × 16 oz = 32 oz < 42 oz Thus 2 lb is smaller than 42 oz.
Is 2kg smaller than 7kg?
Yes. When the units are the same, compare the numbers. The units are both kilograms (kg), thus the numbers can be compared: 2 < 7 → 2 kg < 7 kg.
When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit why does the value of the measurement increase?
Because in any given measurement, there are more of the smaller units than bigger units. There are less than 2 metres in my height (1.78 m). But in a smaller unit, eg centimetre, there are is 178 of them. That is a staggering 1780000 micrometres tall :) But, then again, that is only 0.00178 kilometres :(
How much smaller is 0.2 than 2?

smaller
What are the measure units smaller than an inch?
An inch consists of 16 scale divisions (1/16, 2/16, etc.) If you consider metric system, then the smaller measure units would be centimeter (1 inch = 2.54 cm) and millimeter (1 cm = 10 mm).
What is the difference between -2 and 2?
-2-2=? it would be -4-2 is smaller than 2 and also -2 is smaller than 0
Is 2 over 5 greater or smaller than 2 over 4?
2/5 is smaller than 2/4
Are the 2 moons of Mars bigger than Mars or smaller than Mars?
Smaller. Much smaller.
Which is smaller 0.234 or .2?
Compare digits from the highest place value to the lowest place value. If a place value is empty it is zero. Both have 0 units; Both have 2 tenths; 0.234 has 3 hundredths whereas 0.2 has no (0) hundredths, 3 > 0 therefore 0.234 > 0.2 ).2 is less than 0.234
How many times smaller is the 8 in the units period than the 8 in the thousands period in number 269 872 805?
How many times larger is the 2 in the millions period than the 2 in the thousands period? 269 872 805
How many milliliters equals 2 milligrams?
These units are not convertible because "milli-litre" is a unit of volume (L^3) and "milligram" is a unit of mass (M). The mass of a millilter would depend on the substance's density. 2 ml water = 2 mg, 2 ml of iron = Alot more than two milligrams
