Q&A for How to Convert Units

That is not possible.

Multiply liters by 1,000. In this case, 1.5 liters equals (1.5)(1000) = 1,500 cubic centimeters.

You would need to get another dimension in feet (such as the depth or height) and multiply that dimension by the square footage to get cubic feet.

There are nine square feet in one square yard, so divide square footage by 9.

Divide millimeters by 25.4.

Multiply 17 by 100, then add 80.

Multiply cubic meters by 1,000, because there are 1,000 liters in one cubic meter.

Divide the % by 100 (in your example, 200/100 = 2). Then, times x by the previous numeral found.

While the bushel is a unit of weight, there is actually no conversion factor available. Pounds do not convert directly to bushels. It depends on what commodity is being measured.

Divide cm³ by one million to get m³.

Multiply pounds sterling by approximately 1.76 (at a recent exchange rate).

A kilogram is a unit of mass and a metre is a unit of length. This conversion can't be done because the dimensions are incompatible.

First multiply by 1,000 to convert from kg to g. Then multiply by 1,000,000 (one million) to convert from m³ to cm³. To convert kg/m³ to g/cm³ in one step, multiply kg/m³ by 1,000,000,000 (one billion or 10^9).

For the first question, you would need a conversion factor based on the density of the material being measured. In other words, 500 grams of a relatively dense material would take up less volume than 500 grams of a relatively less dense material. For the second question, there are 236.59 milliliters in one cup. So 850 ml ÷ 236.59 = 3.59 cups.

A millimeter is a unit of length. A gram is a unit of weight. The two are not convertible to each other.

The angstrom is the smallest of those units. Multiply nanometers by 10 to get angstroms. Multiply micrometers (or microns) by 10,000.

3,000 milliliters is 3 liters. 3 deciliters is 3/10 of one liter. So one robot could hold much more than 3 deciliters.

So take this problem: 24 weeks =? months. This is worked out as follows: 1 month = 4 weeks is the conversion fact(or). Put the known number (24 weeks) over 1, 24 weeks/. Multiply by the conversion factor making sure the known unit (weeks) is on the bottom. 24 weeks/1 x 1 month/4 weeks = 24/4 months. Cross out ‘weeks’ which cancels out and keep ‘months’. 24/4 months = 6 months.

Here is an example problem: 45 hours = how many minutes? The conversion factor is 60 minutes/1hour, 45 hours/1 x 60 min/hours = 45 x 60 minutes.

A square centimeter is a unit of area. A "regular" centimeter is a unit of length. One does not convert to the other. Having said that, however, if you were to divide an area by a length, you would wind up with a length. For example, 10,000 square centimeters (a square meter) divided by 10 centimeters is 1,000 centimeters.

One horsepower is equal to ¾ of one kilowatt. So multiply the number of horsepower by 0.7457 to get the number of kW.

There are one trillion microliters in one megaliter. So you divide 45.6 microliters by one trillion (or 10^12) to find the equivalent number of megaliters. That's 0.0000000000456 megaliter.

1,000 micrograms equal 1 milligram, so 1 microgram equals 0.001 milligram. Thus, you divide the number of micrograms by 1000 to convert to milligrams.
