There are units for many different things. But basically, you look up the conversion factor, then multiply or divide. It is safest (so as not to multiply when you should divide, or vice versa) to work as in the following example:
To convert 10 inches to centimeters: 1 in = 2.54 centimeters, therefore, 1 in / 2.54 cm = 1; 2.54 cm / 1 in. is also equal to 1.
10 inches x (2.54 cm / 1 in) = 25.4 cm (the inches cancel in the division).
If you tried to multiply instead by (1 in / 2.54 cm), the units don't cancel, so it doesn't work out.
It depends on the specific units, but it will almost always be
a matter of multiplying or dividing by some power of 10.
For converting between two systems you need to know relations.
For example 1 yard is 0.9144 meters. So every other number of yd you need to multiply by above number to get meter.
To convert a larger metric unit to a smaller one you have to multiply
2m= ______mm
=2x1000=2000mm
You can use one of the online converter for example http://www.unitarium.com to "convert units within the metric system"
You use conversion factors.
To convert inches to metric units, we need to use the conversion factor of 2.54 cm in one inch. So, to convert 3764ths of an inch to metric units, we divide 3764 by 64 (to convert to decimal) and then multiply by 2.54 cm to get the equivalent value in centimeters.
You don't have to.Time is measured in the same units in both the Metric and English systems.
Yes, there is a site called science made simple online that allows you to convert from the metric system for your recipe. It has a detailed chart that you can easily follow.
Depends, what you want to convert to what. To convert between different metric units, powers of 10 are used. For example, a kilometer is 1000 meters. To convert from metric units to imperial units, you have to ask specific questions for specific units, for example, "how to convert inches to meters", or "how to convert pounds to kilograms".Depends, what you want to convert to what.

Convert gallon to appropriate metric units.
SI and metric are the same units.
hi people
It doesn't make sense to convert between units of length and units of mass.
metric

Meters are a metric measurement for length and a Kilogram is a metric measurement of mass, You can not convert between these units.
You use conversion factors.
A metric converter works by converting different metric units. Metric units are easy and convenient to convert because they are multiples of ten and are converted simply by multiplying or dividing by ten.
Si and metric are the same thing. SI was a redefinition of metric in 1960.
the metric system is divisable by units OS ten which makes it simple to convert measurements in meters into other metric units
