Converting units of measure can be tricky. You must first ask yourself, "Will the number change into a bigger number, or smaller number?" In other words, you need to decide if you are going to add zeros or add decimals to convert a number correctly. For example:
- 1 mm = 0.1 cm
- 1 cm = .01 m
- 1 m = .001 km
OR
- 1 cm = 10 mm
- 1 m = 100 cm
- 1 km = 1000 m
Remember, if you are changing a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit of measure, the number will be larger.
For example: 25cm = 250 mm because it takes 10mm to make 1cm.
Also remember that if you change a smaller unit of measure to a bigger one, the number will be smaller.
For example: 25cm = 0.25m because it takes 100cm to make 1m.
Good luck!
