Question

A quantity must be divided by multiples of ten when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit. true or false

Answer 1

The answer is false. You have to multiply by multiples of ten, since you're jumping from a bigger unit to smaller units. You're supposed to have numberically more smaller units than bigger units, since a lot of these smaller units are combined to create a single larger unit.

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

When a large quantity is converted into small quantity, it is multiplied by some number which can also be "multiple of tens"

For example -

Meter is a larger unit as compared to centimeter. Hence, if five meter is converted into centimeter then it is to be multiplied by "
`100`"as one meter consists of
`100` centimeter.

For instance -

`5` Meter
`= 500` centimeters

Hence, the given statement is false
