Since \(1\) meter \(= 100\) centimeters, multiply: \(3 \times 100 = 300\) cm. The answer is \(\mathbf{300}\) cm.
Since \(1\) centimeter \(= 10\) millimeters, multiply: \(15 \times 10 = 150\) mm. The answer is \(\mathbf{150}\) mm.
Since \(1\) yard \(= 3\) feet, multiply: \(100 \times 3 = 300\) feet. The answer is \(\mathbf{300}\) feet.
Since \(1\) pound \(= 16\) ounces, multiply: \(48 \times 16 = 768\) ounces. The answer is \(\mathbf{768}\) ounces.
Since \(1\) liter \(= 1{,}000\) milliliters, multiply: \(2 \times 1{,}000 = 2{,}000\) mL. The answer is \(\mathbf{2{,}000}\) mL.
Since \(1\) kilometer \(= 1{,}000\) meters, multiply: \(5 \times 1{,}000 = 5{,}000\) m. The answer is \(\mathbf{5{,}000}\) m.
Since \(1\) foot \(= 12\) inches, multiply: \(4 \times 12 = 48\) inches. The answer is \(\mathbf{48}\) inches.
Since \(1\) mile \(= 1{,}760\) yards, multiply: \(2 \times 1{,}760 = 3{,}520\) yards. The answer is \(\mathbf{3{,}520}\) yards.
