# Multiplication and Division of Units of Measurement

We will learn how to multiply and divide of units of measurement.

We carry out multiplication and division of measurements as we do for decimal numbers.

Multiplication of Units of Length:

We can multiply lengths by a number like multiplication of ordinary numbers.

1. Multiply 12 km 56 m by 7.

Solution:

12 km 56 m = 12.056 m

Hence, 12.056 × 7 = 84.392 km

2. Multiply 44 dam 28 cm by 12

Solution:

28 cm = 0.28 m

1 dam = 10 m

28 cm = 0.028 dam

Hence, 44 dam 28 cm × 12 = 528.336

3. Multiply 7 km 346 m by 6

Solution:

We first convert km and m into m and then multiply.

 7 km 346 m= 7000 m + 346 m= 7346 mNow we multiply by 6= 7346 × 6= 44076 m

To convert 44076 m to km we separate the last 3 digits from the right and write there as m.

44076 m = 44 km 76 m

Hence, 7 km 346 m by 6 =44 km 76 m

4. Multiply 15 g 16 mg by 25

Solution:

16 mg = $$\frac{16}{1000}$$ g

15 g 16 mg = 15.016 g

Hence, 15 g 16 mg × 25 = 375.4 g

5. Multiply 9 dℓ 72 mℓ by 6

Solution:

72 mℓ = $$\frac{72}{100}$$ dℓ = 0.72 dℓ

9 dℓ 72 mℓ = 9.72 dℓ

Hence, 9.72 dℓ × 6 = 58.32 dℓ

Division of Units of Length:

We can divide lengths by a number like division of ordinary numbers. If the measurement is given as a combination of two units like km and m or m and cm, we first convert higher unit to lower unit and then divide.

1. Divide 132 ℓ 64 dℓ by 8

Solution:

64 dℓ = 6.4 ℓ

132 ℓ 64 dℓ = 138.4 ℓ

Hence, 138.4 ℓ ÷ 8 = 17.3 ℓ

2. Divide 2 km 560 m unit by 8.

Solution:

 Let us convert 2 km 560 m into m.2 km 560 m= 2000 m + 560 m= 2560 mNow, divide 2560 by 8

Hence, 2 km 560 m ÷ 8 = 320 m
