A quantity must be divided by multiples of ten when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit. true or false

Verified Answer :

The answer is false. You have to multiply by multiples of ten, since you're jumping from a bigger unit to smaller units. You're supposed to have numberically more smaller units than bigger units, since a lot of these smaller units are combined to create a single larger unit.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a large quantity is converted into small quantity, it is multiplied by some number which can also be "multiple of tens"

For example -

Meter is a larger unit as compared to centimeter. Hence, if five meter is converted into centimeter then it is to be multiplied by "\(100\)"as one meter consists of \(100\) centimeter.

For instance -

\(5\) Meter \(= 500\) centimeters

Hence, the given statement is false
