Question

1. Which conversion requires division?

A. millimeter --->> centimeter
B. kilometer --->> meter
C. centimeter --->> millimeter
D. meter --->> millimeter

2. Which conversion requires division?
A. milligram --->> centigram
B. kilogram --->> gram
C. centigram --->> milligram
D. gram --->> milligram

Answer 1

B , meters is smaller
B , grams is smaller

Answer 2

Correct option is

Part 1: millimeter --->> centimeter

Part 2: milligram --->> centigram

Explanation:

Part 1: Given the conversion i.e

A. millimeter --->> centimeter

B. kilometer --->> meter

C. centimeter --->> millimeter

D. meter --->> millimeter

we have to find that convert which requires division.

As from the above conversions only in the first option the unit in LHS is smaller than RHS i.e unit millimeter is smaller than centimeter i.e

A.
`\text{1 millimeter = }(1)/(10) centimeter`

B.
`\text{1 kilometer = 1000 meter}`

C.
`\text{1 centimeter = 10 millimeter}`

D.
`\text{1 meter = 1000 millimeter}`

Option A is correct i.e Option A requires division

Part 2: Given the conversion i.e

A. milligram --->> centigram

B. kilogram --->> gram

C. centigram --->> milligram

D. gram --->> milligram

we have to find that convert which requires division.

As from the above conversions only in the first option the unit in LHS is smaller than RHS i.e unit milligram is smaller than centimeter i.e

A.
`\text{1 millimeter = }(1)/(10) centigram`

B.
`\text{1 kilogram = 1000 gram}`

C.
`\text{1 centigram = 10 milligram}`

D.
`\text{1 gram = 1000 milligram}`

Option A is correct i.e Option A requires division
