No, a decimeter is not smaller than a millimeter. A decimeter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one-tenth of a meter, while a millimeter is one-thousandth of a meter. Therefore, a millimeter is smaller than a decimeter by a factor of 100.
No; a decimeter is one-tenth of a meter and a millimeter is one-thousandth of a meter.
3.5decimeters=35 cm which is greater than 30 cm
A decimeter is larger than a millimeter. 1 decimeter is equal to 100 millimeters.
No, a millimeter is not greater than a kilometer.
1 decimeter is 10cm, so 4 is 40cm, greater than for 4cm
decimeter
Since the millimeter is smaller than a decimeter, it is customary to ask how many millimeters are in a decimeter, not the other way around, but no matter, as long as you realize there will be only a fraction of a decimeter in a millimeter. Let's review: A millimeter is 0.001 meter. A centimeter is 0.01 meter. A decimeter is 0.1 meter. From the facts above, we can easily see that a decimeter is 100 times larger than a millimeter. That means there are 100 millimeters in a decimeter, and there is 0.01 decimeter in a millimeter. The cool thing about the metric system is that multiplying and dividing by ten is easy to remember and do. Here are some examples: If you have 3000 millimeters, you can easily divide that number by ten and say that you have 300 centimeters. Divide it again and you have 30 decimeters. Divide it again and you have three meters. Pretty easy stuff - - and very convenient. All those amounts are equal.
Decimeter
1 decimetre = 10 centimetrestherefore63 centimetres is less than 53.6 decimetres.
7 decimeters is greater than 600 millimeters. There are 100 millimeters in each decimeter. So 7dm = 7 * 100 mm, or 700mm. 700 is greater than 600.
1 decimetre. A decimetre is 100 times larger than millimetres
