Multiply
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 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.
How do you convert larger unit to smaller unit and vice versa?
When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit there will be more of them, so multiply by the conversion factor; eg km to m: there a 1000m in 1 km, so multiply by 1000 so 2.4 km = 2.4 x 1000 m = 2400 m When converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit there will be less of them so divide by the conversion factor; eg m to km: there are 1000m in 1 km so divide by 1000, so 2400 m = 2400 ÷ 1000 km = 2.4 km
What comes before grams?
Decagram if going from larger unit to smaller unit, and decigram if from smaller to larger.
Are you converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit or from a larger unit to a smaller unit?
The answer to that one is going to depend on two things:-- what unit you are converting from-- what unit you are converting to

No.
A unit must be divided by multiples of ten when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit?
False
When converting from a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit of measure you should?
Divide by the conversion factor to get the equivalent value in the smaller unit.
When your converting do you mutiply or divide?
It could be either, depending on whether you're converting to a larger or smaller unit.
A quantity must be divided by multiples of when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit. true or false?
False.
Is it true or falues a unit mush be divided by multiples of ten when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit?
False - when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit there will be more of them so you must multiply. What you multiply by depends upon the units, for example converting feet to inches you multiply by 12; converting pounds to ounces you multiply by 16. It is only with the metric system of units where you multiply by a power of 10 to convert a large unit to a smaller unit, for example 2.5 kg is 2500 g (multiply by 1000 or 103).
