Wait. Six unit multipliers? Square units to square units? You only will need four unit multipliers. The two of them done twice each.

When using 6 unit multipliers, we could have this scratch work
1 ft = 12 in
30.48 cm = 1 ft
1 m = 100 cm

Notice the placement of the terms so the units "inches", "feet", and "centimeters" cancel.
See this example
We have two copies of each because something like "square inches" aka "in^2" basically means inches*inches

-------------------------------------------------------------

When using 4 unit multipliers, we could have this scratch work
1 inch = 2.54 cm
100 cm = 1 meter


Therefore,
