In unit analysis, conversions are expressed as a ratio that is equivalent to 1. Instead of saying:
1 meter = 39.37 inches
you say:
1 = 39.37 inches / 1 meter
This way when you want to convert, say 12 meters to inches, you just multiply as follows:
12 meters x (39.37 inches / 1 meter)
which is the same as multiplying by 1.
This is then reformulated as:
(12 x 39.37 meter inches) / 1 meter
Then you cancel out the meters from the numerator and the denominator as follows:
(12 x 39.37 meter inches) / 1 meter
And do the remaining math:
12 x 39.37 inches / 1 = 472.44 inches
The nice thing about doing it this way is that the "units" of your answer are automatically determined by doing the math.

How do you convert millimeters to meters squared?
Well you have to set up a fraction ratio For example I want to convert 88 inches squared to mm not squared but just a length dimension 88 inches x 1 mm/ 0.0393 inches = 2,239.185750636132 so inches ^2 divided by inches will leave you with inches and millimetres which is incorrect the correct way using unit analysis is square root of 88 is 9.38083151964686 now divide this by 1 mm/0.0393 inches and your only left with mm not inches and mm. Your end result in an equation will look as follows 9.38083151964686 inches X 1 mm/0.0393 = and I'll let you do that math 😃. Just to answer possible questions you may ask where did 0.0393 come from well that is the amount of inches in a mm you may also ask why mm on top that is for unit analysis to cancel out the inch measurements leaving us with our desired mm To recap we went from inches^2 square rooted it to make it inches so they cancel in our equation( Inch/inch ) and were left with mm
