Converting Measurements in a Measurement System

Mr. Narian teaches how to convert measurements from millimeters to meters to solve a real-world problem involving gate dimensions. The lesson covers the conversion process, including understanding the base 10 system and decimal points. Students learn to divide by 10 to convert smaller units to larger ones, ensuring the new gate fits the old space. The final solution provides the gate's dimensions in meters.
