Answer 1

You need to multiply when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit basically because multiplication is repeated addition, and addition always makes a unit larger. One example is that lets say you have the number 2. If you multiply 2 by 5, you get 10. 10 is greater than 2, therefore, the unit became larger as it was multiplied.
