Select all correct options:

Divide by 1000 when converting to larger units.

When converting a smaller unit to a larger one in the metric system, divide by 1000. Examples include metres to kilometres, grams to kilograms, and millilitres to litres. For instance, 2500 m ÷ 1000 = 2.5 km. Recognising when to divide versus multiply is essential for accurate conversions. Practice converting between smaller and larger units to understand this principle. Always include the correct unit in your answer.
