Which is NOT a step when writing a conversion fact in the SI system?

Question

Identify your goal measurement.

Identify your starting measurement.

Use the prefix table to count the number of columns between your starting measurement and your goal measurement.

Multiply the number 1 by a factor of 20 for each column you move.

Answer 1

The step that is NOT part of writing a conversion fact in the SI system is:

Multiply the number 1 by a factor of 20 for each column you move.

In general, when converting between units in the SI system, you would typically multiply by a factor of 10 for each column moved, because the SI system is based on powers of ten. The factor of 20 does not apply in this context.
