False
You convert to a larger unit. Smaller to larger. Metre is 1000 times larger than a millimetre
The answer to that one is going to depend on two things:-- what unit you are converting from-- what unit you are converting to
The smaller number is a factor of the larger number, and the larger number is a multiple of the smaller.
The decimal point moves to the left.
Divide the smaller number into the larger number. If it comes out evenly with no remainder, the larger number is a multiple of the smaller number. All even numbers are multiples of two.
No.
False.
No. That principle applies for most unit conversions in the metric system, but not for all and it does not apply at all for imperial measurements.
False - when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit there will be more of them so you must multiply. What you multiply by depends upon the units, for example converting feet to inches you multiply by 12; converting pounds to ounces you multiply by 16. It is only with the metric system of units where you multiply by a power of 10 to convert a large unit to a smaller unit, for example 2.5 kg is 2500 g (multiply by 1000 or 103).

That depends on what you are converting from. If you are converting from larger units, you multiply. If you are converting from smaller units, you divide.
Multiply
Divide the larger number by the smaller one. If the answer is an integer, the larger number is a multiple of the smaller.
It could be either, depending on whether you're converting to a larger or smaller unit.
In the metric system basic units are multiplied or divided by 10 to get larger and smaller units
