If you want to convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit, you multiply. Why? Because the smaller units are more numerous. There are 12 inches to a foot, which means there are 12 times as many inches as feet. If you want to convert from inches to feet, however, you divide by 12. Why? Because feet are 1/12 as numerous as inches.

Remember, the smaller the unit the more there are of them. The larger the unit, the fewer there are of them. Hope this helps, and no jokes about small units!
