None centimeters are more then millimeters.So the millimeters go into the centimeter.
Millimeters are smaller so if a measurement is given in mm it is likely to be more accurate than a measurement given in cm. However, it's important to note that neither mm nor cm is inherently more accurate.
there are a thousand millimeters in a meter An easier way to do this would be to break it down first. we know that there are 100 centimeters in a meter. we also know that there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. so 10(millimeters in a centimeter) x(times) 100(centimeters in a meter) ...10x100=1000 one thousand millimeters in a meter :) ++++ :(. That is NOT the easier way! Learn what the prefixes mean, instead. The prefix tells you the multiplier, so 'milli' means one-thousandth therefore to turn metres to millimetres multiply them by 1000. You do NOT break a simple, linear conversion into intermediate steps because that makes additional, extra work and increases the risk of error. You may need to use intermediate steps for more unwieldy calculations involving mixed dimensions, but for straight linear conversions just use the prefix-value directly.
Lengths that are more than 1,000 microns and less than 1 meter are usually measured in millimeters.
0.18millmeters
centimeters is more because there is 10 millimeters in a centimeter.
Decimeter. There are 100 millimeters in a decimeter.
Neither.
It takes more centimeters. One decimeter is ten centimeters.
4 centimeters = 40 millimeters. 500 millimeters is more than that.
403 centimeters is more precise than 40 decimeters because there are more units in a centimeter compared to a decimeter. Specifically, 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters.
millimeters
Millimeter= 1/10 of a centimeter Centimeter= 1/10 of a decimeter Decimeter= 10 centimeters Meter= 100 centimeters Kilometer= 1000 meters A meter is just more than a yard. A kilometer is just over a mile. A decimeter is 3 and 15/16 of an inch. A centimeter is 3/8 of an inch. A millimeter is tiny. 10 millimeters= 1 centimeter 10 centimeters= 1 decimeter 10 decimeters= 1 meter 100 meters= 1 kilometer The metric system goes by tens basically. !
The reason that you can be more precise while measuring in millimeters is because millimeters are smaller than centimeters, therefore you can make more specific measurements. +++ 1m = 100cm and 1cm = 10mm. The cm is not a 'preferred unit' in SI scales.
No. They are exactly the same length.
187 centimeters is equal to 1870 millimeters, which is less than 150000 millimeters.
MULTIPLY, not divide, the number of centimeters by 10. The millimeters are smaller, so there would be more of them per cm.
