Today's Math Homework: Conversion... again.

Today we reviewed converting different units of measurement.  Some of you are still getting mixed up when you are converting a unit of measure to another.  But, if you remember your basic conversions (ex. 10mm = 1cm), then you shouldn't have any problems figuring out the rest.

Learning Tip of the Day: Remember, when you are moving a decimal place, start from the right side, and move the decimal place as many times as there are zeros.

For example: 1 m = 100 cm 
Because there are two zeros in 100, you must move the decimal place two times starting from the right when you are converting centimetres to metres.  That means 1cm = 0.01m.

Good luck!
