Select all correct options:

Multiply by 1000 when converting to smaller units.

Converting a larger unit to a smaller one requires multiplication by 1000. For example, 0.75 kg × 1000 = 750 g, and 2 litres × 1000 = 2000 ml. This principle applies across metric mass and volume units. Understanding when to multiply versus divide helps avoid mistakes. Practice different conversions to become confident and always include the correct unit in your answer.
