You multiply
Not necessarily. When you divide by a fraction, the answer can be bigger than both of them. 6 ÷ 1/5 = 30
Divide the percent by 100.
Divide the smaller number into the bigger number. If the answer comes out even with no remainder, it's a factor.
1L =1000ml for converting ml into L we've to divide the no. by 1000 By dividing 4 by 1000 it gives 0.004L
You multiply
When going from larger to smaller measurements, there will be more of them so it is necessary to multiply. 1 meter = 100 centimeters When going from smaller to larger measurements, there will be fewer of them so it is necessary to divide. 100 centimeters = 1 meter
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.
well you divide or multiply. if it is bigger to smaller then you multiply, if it is smaller to bigger you divide
A smaller unit is converting to a larger unit. Then, divide by 1,000 2,000 milliliters is equivalent to 2 liters.
It could be either, depending on whether you're converting to a larger or smaller unit.
Centimeters are smaller ,right? If you multiply , it will get bigger, if u divide it gets smaller, divide.
you divide the smaller # into the bigger #----
Add enough zeros so the smaller number becomes bigger than the bigger one. It's difficult to divide 50 into 4, but it's easier to divide 50 into 4.00
Divide by the conversion factor to get the equivalent value in the smaller unit.
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.
