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.
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.
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.
What. Operation would you use to convert feet to miles?
To convert feet to miles, you would divide the number of feet by 5,280, since there are 5,280 feet in one mile. For example, if you have 10,000 feet, you would calculate 10,000 ÷ 5,280 to get approximately 1.89 miles. This operation effectively scales down the measurement from a smaller unit (feet) to a larger unit (miles).
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.
When you are changing a smaller unit of measurement to a larger unit of measurement do you multiply or divide?
divide
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
When converting a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit you what?
Multiply
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 going from larger to smaller units of measurement do you always divide?
No, never.
How do you convert from a smaller metric unit to a larger metric unit?

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).
Is kilometers smaller or larger than grams?
They aren't relevant units of measurement you boob.
When a number in a measurement is converted from kilometers to meters dose the number get larger or smaller?
Yes.
