The pattern behind it: Decimals and percentages
Keep place values and the whole visible while scaling decimals or finding a percentage.
In this one. Moving from a larger metric unit to its smaller unit multiplies by the exact conversion factor.
How to spot it
The question offers two possible units for the same kind of measurement, such as cm or km, or asks to read a time or a percentage from a picture.
Common mistake
Children pick the unit that sounds familiar rather than the one that fits the object's size, or read a clock's hour and minute hands the wrong way round.
