1m=1000mm

\ Once you know this, you need to divide one side by the other to obtain a ratio of

m

to

mm

:\

1=(1(m))/(1000(mm))

\ If you are converting from millimeters to meters, then this is the proper ratio. It has

mm

in the denominator, so that it will cancel the units of the qua if you were converting

63mm

, then you would have\

63mm*(1(m))/(1000mm)=0.063m

\ To convert a quantity from meters to millimeters, use the reciprocal ratio:\

1=(1000(mm))/(1(m))

\ Part A\ Suppose that you measure a pen to be

10.5cm

long. Convert this to meters.\ Express your answer in meters.\ View Available Hint(s)\ Part B Complete previous part(s)\ Part C Complete previous part(s)\ Part D Complete previous part(s)
