When converting units, like pounds to kilograms or inches to centimeters, you need to know the conversion factor, which is a specific number that helps convert from one unit to another. For instance, 1 kg equals 2.2 lbs, and 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters. To determine whether to multiply or divide, consider the unit size: if you're converting to a larger unit, like pounds to kilograms, you’ll divide the number of pounds by the conversion factor because kilograms are larger and you need fewer of them. Conversely, if you're converting to a smaller unit, like inches to centimeters, you’ll multiply because centimeters are smaller and you need more of them to equal the same length.
The key is to determine the direction of your conversion and the conversion factor between the units. Here's a simple way to approach it: If you are converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit (e.g., grams to kilograms), you will typically divide. If you are converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit (e.g., kilometers to meters), you will typically multiply.To convert 1500 grams to kilograms: Since you’re going from a smaller unit (grams) to a larger unit (kilograms), you divide by 1000. Thus, 1500 grams ÷ 1000 = 1.5 kilograms. To convert 5 kilometers to meters: Since you’re going from a larger unit (kilometers) to a smaller unit (meters), you multiply by 1000. Thus, 5 kilometers × 1000 = 5000 meter.

Hi I was wondering how to know when to divide or multiply for the last problem with pounds to kilograms or inches to centimeters etc?
When converting units, like pounds to kilograms or inches to centimeters, you need to know the conversion factor, which is a specific number that helps convert from one unit to another. For instance, 1 kg equals 2.2 lbs, and 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters. To determine whether to multiply or divide, consider the unit size: if you're converting to a larger unit, like pounds to kilograms, you’ll divide the number of pounds by the conversion factor because kilograms are larger and you need fewer of them. Conversely, if you're converting to a smaller unit, like inches to centimeters, you’ll multiply because centimeters are smaller and you need more of them to equal the same length.
I have not a clue whether to multiply or divide when it comes to standard-metric conversions. :/ How do you know when to multiply and when to divide?

In teas exam, don’t we get questions for conversation of temperature?
Hi Christeen. You may see conversions when it comes to temperature on the exam.
@@NurseCheung thank you! 😊
Do you have a way to remember the conversion for temperature?
Great question. I can usually find the approximate number between Celsius and Fahrenheit by either multiplying or dividing by 3.
@@NurseCheung Thank you so much!
