Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to multiply or divide in a sharing problem?
If you know the total and want to make equal groups, you divide. If you know the size of one group and want to find the total, you multiply.
How do I convert meters into centimeters?
To convert meters to centimeters, simply multiply the number of meters by 100 because 1 meter equals 100 centimeters.
What is the difference between grams and kilograms?
Grams (g) are used to measure light things like a pencil or an apple, while kilograms (kg) are used to measure heavy things like a bag of rice or a person.
