How it works
A smaller unit makes a bigger number. Multiply by the fact.
1 yard is 3 feet, 1 liter is 1000 milliliters, 1 hour is 60 minutes.
Say which way you are going: big unit to small unit means multiply.
Worked examples
Yards to feet
- 5 yd = ? ft
- 1 yard is 3 feet.
- 5 × 3 = 15.
- So the answer is 15.
Liters to milliliters
- 2 L = ? mL
- 1 liter is 1000 milliliters.
- 2 × 1000 = 2000.
- So the answer is 2000.
Hours to minutes
- 5 hr = ? min
- 1 hour is 60 minutes.
- 5 × 60 = 300.
- So the answer is 300.
