sometimes decimeter, sometimes centimeter(if it measures mm)
Using ratios of height : shadow length, and letting t be the height of the tree t : 5 = 100 : 0.4 we cross multiply 0.4 x t = 5 x 100 0.4t = 500 Divide both sides by 0.4 t=1250 mm or 12.5 cm
It measures length. It is a stick measured out in thirty-six inches, which is three feet or a yard. It is about a metre long.
Depending on your meter stick, they could represent centimeters or millimeters.
Well, darling, a liter is a volume measurement, and millimeters are for length. So technically speaking, there are 1,000,000 cubic millimeters in a liter. But unless you're trying to measure the volume of a really tiny container, I suggest you stick with liters for liquids and millimeters for lengths.
A typical meter stick is 1000 millimeters long. This is because there are 1000 millimeters in one meter, making it a consistent conversion.
There are 40 millimeters between 47 and 51 on a meter stick. Each centimeter on a meter stick contains 10 millimeters, so the difference between 47 and 51 is 4 centimeters, which is equivalent to 40 millimeters.
10 mm = 1 cm4 mm = (4 / 10) = 0.4 cm
A meter stick is used to measure length or distance in metric units, typically millimeters, centimeters, or meters. It is a tool commonly used in scientific experiments, construction, and other activities that require precise measurements of length.

The American penny is 19 millimeters in diameter, and a meter stick is 1,000 millimeters....so if we divide 1000 by 19, we find that 52.63 pennies would run the length of a meter stick.
1 metre is 1000 millimetres , so do the math
A meter stick is equivalent to 100 centimeters or 1000 millimeters in length.
A meter stick is used to measure length and short distances. A meter stick is between 1.00m and 1.05m long. It is calibrated in cm and mm, which are the units it is used to measure. Measurement of distances of a number of meters was traditionally done with surveyor's tapes or chains; nowadays by interferometry using a laser. Ultra high precision measurement is mostly still done with a Fabry-Perot interferometer.
The units used when measuring length with a meter stick are typically in centimeters and millimeters. One meter is equal to 100 centimeters or 1000 millimeters.
A meter stick typically has a length of one meter, which is equivalent to 100 centimeters or 1000 millimeters.
A meter stick typically measures one meter in length.
