Answer 1

The answer to your question is D

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. decimal point.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is wrong. It should be :

When converting from a smaller to a larger unit of measurement, you move the _______ to the left.

In order to convert from a smaller to a larger unit of measurement what we need to move is the decimal point to the left. Let's see an example :

We have the two following units

''
`g`'' which is grams and ''
`kg`'' which is kilograms.

We know that the grams are a smaller unit of measurement that kilograms.

We also know the relationship :

`1kg=1000g`

For example if we want to convert
`1500g` to kilograms :

`(1500g).((1kg)/(1000g))=1.5kg`

What we have done is that we divided the number ''1500'' by ''1000''.

This is equal to move the decimal point three places to the left ⇒

`1500g=1.5kg`

The correct answer is D. decimal point
