To Convert Units
larger unit to smaller unit -> multiply
smaller unit to larger unit -> divide
1 km = 1000 m, 1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm
Other units of measure:

Volume: litres (l) or cubic metres (m3)
1) Estimate the dimensions of your table (width, length)
2) Measure your table: In your Maths group, measure the dimensions of the table (height/width/length).
3) We need to recover the tables with vinyl covering. What is the area of vinyl we need for your table?
4) What if we were to paint the table top instead. The thickness of the paint would be 2mm. What volume of paint would we need?
