What else can I help you with?
Why can you just move the decimal point to find a solution when you multiply or divide by but not when you multiply or divide by a number that is not a power of 10?
This is because we use the decimal system which is based on the fact that the place value of any digit is ten times that of the digit to its right.
What must multiply or divide by to convert SI units?
To convert SI units, you typically multiply or divide by powers of ten, which are represented by the metric prefixes (e.g., kilo- for 10^3, centi- for 10^-2). For example, to convert from meters to kilometers, you divide by 1,000 (or multiply by 10^-3). Conversely, to convert from millimeters to meters, you multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000). This system allows for straightforward conversions within the metric system.
What would happen to your number system if there was no zero?
no 'Divide By Zero' errors. WOOT!!
Was the Arabic society able add subtract multiply and divide using numerals?
Yes because it is the same numeracy system that we use today
How do you calculate the number of inches if you are given a distance measured in feet in the English system?
Multiply it by twelve

What is a method for solving a system of linear equations in which you multiply one or both equations by a number to get rid of a variable term?
It is called solving by elimination.
How do you change inch to millimeter?
Divide mm by 25.4There are 25.4 millimeters in an inch. Just divide the number of millimeters by 25.4 and you will have the answer.

How do you convert measurements from one level of the metric system to another level of the metric system?
Multiply or divide by a power of 10.
How many inches is 234 cm?
The answer is 92.13 inches (approx.). Inches and centimeters are both units of linear measurement. Inches are used in the imperial system whereas centimeters are used in the metric system. To convert from cm to inches, multiply the cm unit by 0.393701.Divide the number of centimeters by 2.54.
What makes the metrics system such an efficient system of measure?
It works off of a base unit of 10 and multiples of such. Making it easier to divide and multiply and work with than the American standard which works off of a different number. (I think it's 4 or 12?)
Do you multiply or divide to change millimeters to meters?
You divide the number of meters by 1000 to get distance in kilometers. You multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 to get the distance in meters. Generally, when converting from a large unit to a smaller one, you multiply. You divide when going from smaller to larger. However, conversion factors are often given that imply multiplication, no matter what direction you're going. For example, to convert from feet to inches, multiply by 12. To go from inches to feet, multiply by 0.0833 (which is 1/12, of course). In the metric system, it's more common: to go from kilometers to meters, multiply by 1000; to go from meters to kilometers, multiply by 0.001. Those who are good at math understand that multiplying by a fraction (a value less than one) is the same as dividing by its reciprocal.
In metric system to Change from one unit to the next higher unit what must you do?
Multiply by 10
How do you convert 1639 CM to Inches?
The answer is 645.28 inches (approx.). Inches and centimeters are both units of linear measurement. Inches are used in the imperial system whereas centimeters are used in the metric system. To convert from cm to inches, multiply the cm unit by 0.393701.Since 1 inch = 2.54 cm., you have to divide by that number.
How do you determine system watts for lighting?
The equation is quite simple. Multiply the number of lights on the system by their wattage to determine the system wattage.
What would happen to your number system if there was no zero?
no 'Divide By Zero' errors. WOOT!!
