Start with what you know and let the conversion factor units decide how to set up the problem. If a unit to be converted is in the numerator, that unit must be in the denominator of the conversion factor in order for it to cancel.

WEBJan 13, 2010 · NIST HB 44 – Appendix C (Current Edition) provides several convenient conversion factor tables for length, area, volume (dry and liquid measure), and mass using SI (metric system) and U.S. customary units, including notes on British measurement units.
WEBMetric‑Metric Conversions. As you saw in Chapter 1, one of the convenient features of the metric system is that the relationships between metric units can be derived from the metric prefixes. These relationships can easily be translated into conversion factors. For example, milli- means 10-3 (or 0.001 or 1/1000), so a milliliter (mL) is 10-3
