Answer:

see the explanation

Explanation:

we know that

When you convert a measurement with larger units to a measurement with smaller units ,the number of units increases.

Example

Convert 15 kilometer to meter

Remember that


1\ km=1,000\ m

To convert larger units to a smaller units, you need multiply

so


15\ km=15(1,000)=15,000\ m

therefore

When converting a larger unit to a smaller unit, the numerical value of the answer must be greater than the numerical value of the larger unit
