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 :(
Is a decimal bigger than a whole number?
No a decimal is smaller than a whole number.
Is decagrams bigger or smaller than grams?
Grams are a measurement of weight, decagrams are a shapes
Why you need to multiply when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit?
Because if you measure the same amount but with a smaller unit, you expect towind up with a bigger number of them. For example, there are more teaspoons ofwater in a swimming pool than gallons of water in the same pool.If you expect to have a bigger number after converting the units, then multiplicationis definitely the way to go.
What number is with two decimal places that is bigger than 4 and a half but smaller than 4.25?
No number is bigger than 4.50 is and less than 4.25 is.
Would the decimal go left if the measurement goes from bigger to smaller?
yes
Do you divide when you are converting measurements that are bigger to smaller?
You multiply
Do you divide when you are converting bigger to smaller measurements?
No, you multiply.
How do you subtract a bigger decimal from a smaller decimal?
Subtract the smaller one from the bigger one, and then put a minus sign before the answer.
Which way do you move the decimal in metric if your are going from a bigger to smaller unit?
The decimal would go left. For example: 18.0: Smaller: 1.8 Bigger: 180
12 cm converted to m?
Since there are 100 cm in 1 m, you must divide 12 by 100. This gives you 12/100, which can be reduced to 3/25, or 0.12 in decimal form. Whenever you are converting in metric units, you only have to move the decimal based on the different measurements. In this case, a meter is 100 centimeters, so the decimal is moved two places over. Which direction you move it depends on which way you are converting. Converting from a smaller size to a bigger one requires you to move the decimal to the left, and converting from a larger size to a smaller one requires you to move the decimal to the right, adding zeroes as necessary.

Which decimal is bigger 7.5 or 5.77?
7.5 is bigger than 5.77 but .5 is smaller than .77 so 5.77 has the bigger decimal than 7.5
Is a decimal bigger than a whole number?
No a decimal is smaller than a whole number.
Is decagrams bigger or smaller than grams?
Grams are a measurement of weight, decagrams are a shapes
Is 0.24 smaller or bigger than 0.6?
In comparing decimal numbers, the number with more decimal places is typically smaller. In this case, 0.24 has two decimal places, while 0.6 has one decimal place. Therefore, 0.24 is smaller than 0.6.
When you multiply a decimal by a whole number why is it smaller?
It need not be. 1.5 * 6 = 9, which is bigger than 6, not smaller.
