Question

Explain the rules for multiplication and division to convert units. How do you know when to multiply and when to divide to convert units of measurements

Answer 1

Answer:

The basic rule is: If you need to convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit, multiply. If you need to convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide. You will make the number smaller and, as you already know, division is all about making numbers smaller.

addiemoss23/this person wrote this NOT me, it is right btw

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert units into smaller units, multiply. When the units are smaller , you need more of them to express the same measure. To convert smaller units to larger units, divide. When the units are larger , you need fewer of them to express the same measure.
