‭Step‬ ‭4:‬ ‭Notice‬ ‭which‬ ‭units‬ ‭have‬ ‭both‬ ‭a‬ ‭top‬ ‭and‬ ‭bottom‬ ‭component.‬ ‭You‬ ‭can‬‭cancel‬‭these‬‭units‬‭out.‬‭If‬‭you‬‭set‬‭up‬‭the‬‭conversions‬‭correctly,‬‭then‬‭you‬ ‭should only have one unit remaining.‬

‭Step‬‭5:‬‭Calculate‬‭your‬‭final‬‭value‬‭by‬‭multiplying‬‭the‬‭fractions‬‭together.‬‭To‬‭multiply‬ ‭fractions,‬ ‭multiply‬ ‭all‬ ‭the‬ ‭top‬ ‭numbers‬ ‭together‬ ‭and‬ ‭then‬ ‭the‬ ‭entire‬ ‭bottom numbers together. Simplify if necessary.‬

‭Solution:‬ ‭2 yards is equal to 72 inches.‬

‭5.1.2 Metric Units‬ ‭The‬‭metric‬‭system,‬‭which‬‭is‬‭used‬‭by‬‭most‬‭of‬‭the‬‭world,‬‭and‬‭frequently‬‭in‬‭the‬‭science‬‭fields,‬ ‭uses‬‭units‬‭based‬‭on‬‭multiples‬‭of‬‭ten.‬‭The‬‭basic‬‭units‬‭of‬‭measure‬‭in‬‭the‬‭metric‬‭system‬‭are‬‭the‬ ‭meter,‬ ‭the‬ ‭liter,‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬ ‭gram.‬ ‭The‬ ‭prefix‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭metric‬ ‭unit‬ ‭tells‬ ‭what‬ ‭multiple‬ ‭of‬ ‭ten‬ ‭the‬ ‭basic unit is multiplied by. Below is a chart of metric prefixes and their values.‬ ‭Metric‬ ‭System‬ ‭Acronym‬ ‭(K)ing‬ ‭(H)enry‬ ‭(D)ied‬ ‭(B)y‬ ‭(D)rinking‬ ‭(C)hocolate‬ ‭(M)ilk‬ ‭Prefix‬ ‭Kilo‬ ‭Hecto‬ ‭Deca‬ ‭Base‬ ‭Deci‬ ‭Centi‬ ‭Milli‬ ‭Meaning‬ ‭1000‬ ‭100‬ ‭10‬ ‭1‬ ‭0.1‬ ‭0.01‬ ‭0.001‬ ‭There‬ ‭are‬ ‭other‬ ‭prefixes‬ ‭than‬ ‭the‬ ‭ones‬ ‭mentioned‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭table,‬ ‭but‬ ‭those‬ ‭are‬ ‭the‬ ‭primary‬ ‭ones we use.‬ ‭Common Metric Conversions‬ ‭Length‬ ‭Weight‬ ‭Volume‬ ‭1 km = 1000 m‬ ‭1 kg = 1000 g‬ ‭1kL = 1000 L‬ ‭1m = 0.001 km‬ ‭1 g = 0.001 kg‬ ‭1 L = 0.001 kL‬ ‭1 m = 100 cm‬ ‭1 g = 100 cg‬ ‭1 L = 100 cL‬ ‭1 cm = 0.01 m‬ ‭1 cg = 0.01 g‬ ‭1 cL = 0.01 L‬ ‭1 m = 1000 mm‬ ‭1 g = 1000 mg‬ ‭1 L = 1000 mL‬ ‭1 mm = 0.001 m‬ ‭1 mg = 0.001 g‬ ‭1 mL = 0.001 L‬ ‭Scientific‬ ‭Notation‬ ‭10‬ ‭3‬ ‭10‬ ‭2‬ ‭10‬ ‭1‬ ‭10‬ ‭0‬ ‭10‬ ‭-1‬ ‭10‬ ‭-2‬ ‭10‬ ‭-3‬
