Because if you measure the same amount but with a smaller unit, you expect to
wind up with a bigger number of them. For example, there are more teaspoons of
water 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 multiplication
is definitely the way to go.

Is 72 inches smaller than 3 yards?
You need to convert everything to the same units, then compare. Converting yards to inches is easiest; since a yard has 3 feet, and a foot has 12 inches, that means that a yard has 36 inches - so to convert from yards to inches, you multiply by 36.
Why do you use multiplication to change a larger unit to a smaller unit?
When you change from a larger unit to a smaller unit there will be more of them; thus you multiply. eg millimetres are smaller than centimetres. Thus it requires many more of them to measure the same distance. Thus when converting metres to millimetres a multiplication will be required. If you draw a line 3.5 cm long with your rule, and then measure it in mm you will find that it takes 35 mm. If you look closely you will see than 1 cm = 10mm, thus 3.5 cm = 3.5 × 10 mm = 35 mm.
How many wooden cubical blocks of edge 12cm can be cut from another cubical block of wood of edge 3m 60cm?
Well, isn't that a lovely question! Let's break it down gently. First, we need to convert all measurements to the same unit. Since 1m = 100cm, a block of wood with an edge of 3m 60cm is the same as 360cm. Now, we can simply divide the edge length of the larger block by the edge length of the smaller block to find the answer. So, 360cm divided by 12cm equals 30 blocks that can be cut. Happy little calculations!
What is bigger 5 8 or 7 15?
To determine which fraction is larger, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 120. Converting 5/8 to have a denominator of 120 gives us 75/120, while converting 7/15 gives us 56/120. Therefore, 5/8 is larger than 7/15.
How do you convert micrometres to nanometres?
Well, darling, converting micrometres to nanometres is as easy as pie. You just need to remember that there are 1000 nanometres in a micrometre. So, all you have to do is multiply the number of micrometres by 1000 to get the equivalent in nanometres. Voila!
How do you do math for converting 1200psi to pascals?
You need to multiply PSI by 6894.75729, which gives 8,273,708.75 pascals
How do you convert a given unit to larger unit and its answer?
You have to multiply by the conversation ratio.
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.
Why do you use division to change a smaller unit to a larger unit in conversions?
There are lots of small units in each big unit. As a result, the number of small units is greater and to go from a greater number to a smaller number you need to divide by a number which is biiger than 1.Alternatively, to change a smaller unit to a larger unit you can always multiply by a number which is between 0 and 1.
When converting a Dearborn heater from propane to natural gas is the orifice larger or smaller and do you still need the regulator?
When converting a Dearborn heater from propane to natural gas, the orifice will need to be larger to allow for the different gas flow rates. You may also need to adjust the air mixture to ensure proper combustion. It's always best to consult the manufacturer's instructions or a professional to ensure the conversion is done safely and effectively. Remember, mistakes are just happy accidents waiting to be fixed!
Can the bank break bills for customers who need smaller denominations?
Yes, banks can break larger bills into smaller denominations for customers who need them.
What percent is 1.77?
1.77 equals 177%. When converting decimals to percentages, all you need to do is multiply it by 100 and add the percent (%) to the end of it.
When using a rope to make waves do you make a larger amplitude or smaller amplitude?
To create larger waves when using a rope, you will need to make a larger amplitude. By moving your hand or shaking the rope with larger excursions, you can generate bigger waves. Conversely, smaller amplitudes would result in smaller waves.
Is 9 is smaller?
"smaller" is a binary operator: you need two numbers, 9 and another one, before you can decide whether 9 is smaller, the same or larger.
Why semi cone angle is set between10 degree and 15 degree?
It does not need to be. It can be smaller or larger.
How do you use prime factors to help you multiply by 18?
Presumably, the theory is that it's easier to multiply by small numbers than larger ones. If there's a number that you need multiplied by 18, multiply it by 3, then multiply that total by 3, then multiply that total by 2.
Does a smaller basketball need less air pressure than a larger one?
no, pressure is the same , but it will need less volume of air
