Best Answer

1 cm = 10 mm

1 mm = .1 cm

The values are as such because the letters after the numbers refer to fraction of a meter. A meter is equal to 39.37 inches. mm refers to a millimeter which is 1/1000th or .001 of a meter. cm refers to a centimeter which is 1/100th or .01 of a meter. The equation to figure out the answer to your original question ends up being:

.01 / .001 which equals 10.
