Sample Problem
4 m = __ cm
![Page 4: Converting Units of Measure](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042521/555139fab4c905bd1c8b465c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
1: Go down low
Rewrite the problem below the original problem, leaving out the numbers.
4 m = __ cm__ m = __ cm4 m = __ cm

2: Show what you know
Write a “1” next to the larger unit of measure. Fill in the blanks with the conversion fact you have memorized.
4 m = __ cm 1 m = 100 cm
4 m = __ cm

3. Work your way up
Draw an arrow on both sides of the equation. What number must you multiply to the bottom number to get the top number?
4 m = __ cm 1 m = 100 cm
4 m = __ cmx 4

4. What you do to one side, do to the other
Draw an arrow on both sides of the equation. What number must you multiply to the bottom number to get the top number?
4 m = __ cm 1 m = 100 cm
4 m = __ cmx 4 x 4

5. Solve
Draw an arrow on both sides of the equation. What number must you multiply to the bottom number to get the top number?
4 m = __ cm
1 m = 100 cm
4 m = __ cmx 4 x 4
100 x 4 = 400
400

Sample Problem
60 in. = __ ft.

1: Go down low
Rewrite the problem below the original problem, leaving out the numbers.
__ in. = __ ft.60 in. = __ ft.

2: Show what you know
Write a “1” next to the larger unit of measure. Fill in the blanks with the conversion fact you have memorized.
60 in. = __ ft.12 in. = 1 ft

3. Work your way up
Draw an arrow on both sides of the equation. What number must you multiply to the bottom number to get the top number?
x 560 in. = __ ft.
12 in. = 1 ft

4. What you do to one side, do to the other
Draw an arrow on both sides of the equation. What number must you multiply to the bottom number to get the top number?
x 560 in. = __ ft.
12 in. = 1 ftx 5

5. Solve
Draw an arrow on both sides of the equation. What number must you multiply to the bottom number to get the top number?
1 x 5 = 5
x 560 in. = __ ft.
12 in. = 1 ftx 5
