Measurement Conversions

🔹 What Is It?

Measurement conversions mean changing units from one type to another, like meters to centimeters or hours to minutes.

🧩 Clue to Remember

Use multiplication or division to convert.

• Multiply to go from big to small
  
  

• Divide to go from small to big
  
  

🔹 Example

• 1 meter = 100 centimeters
  
  

• To convert 3 meters to centimeters: 3 × 100 = 300 centimeters
  
  

• 60 minutes = 1 hour
  
  

• To convert 120 minutes to hours: 120 ÷ 60 = 2 hours
  
  

💡 Why It Matters

Conversions are used in cooking, travel, science, and sports — anytime you need to switch between units.
