  • Great video but what about when you want to convert to cubic cenimeters?

  • @dayseeuh You'll want to use the unit fraction method for those types of problems. Search the uploads at my channel for "metric conversions - unit fraction method." Follow that approach, except cube the entire unit fraction (or square it, depending on the unit your trying to get rid of). For example, 9cm^3*(1m/100cm)^3=0.000009m^3­­. Always put the unit you're trying to cancel out in the denominator of the unit fraction.

  • What about hectare and cm squeared and those stuff?

  • @Candymylife You're better of using the unit fraction method if squares and other powers are involved. See the "metrics conversions - unit fraction" method at my channel for a brief video on that method.

  • There are no words how to thank you for helping me, I been struggling with conversions for the longest, this month I'm taking Pharmacology classes and I have hard time with numbers and conversions. Thanks to you i feel comfortable for my tests.
