If converting to a smaller unit, you will have
more of them so multiply by the conversion rate.
If converting to a larger unit, you will have
less of them so divide by the conversion rate.

How is adding mixed customary units like adding
mixed fractions?
The smaller unit or units can not be improper
with company. Ex. 90 minutes is okay however,
1 hour and 90 minutes is not okay. It equals 2
hours and 30 minutes.

How are customary units like fractions?

1. Mixed units are added and subtracted like mixed
   fractions.
2. Conversions from one unit to another work like
   mixed to improper.
3. Remainders can be written in fractional units.
