How centimeters are in 50 meters in decimals?
None centimeters are more then millimeters.So the millimeters go into the centimeter.
What is more accurate a measurement given in centimeters or millimeters?
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.
How many millimeters does it take make a meter?
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.
What is measured in millimeters?
Lengths that are more than 1,000 microns and less than 1 meter are usually measured in millimeters.
The layer of gold coating on a ring should be 0.03 millimeters thick when the ring is completed A coating of 0.021 millimeters has already been applied How many more millimeters of gold coating must?

What is more millimeters or centimeters?

Which is smallest decimetre or millimetre?
Decimeter. There are 100 millimeters in a decimeter.
What is more 4 decimeter a or 40 centimeters?
Neither.
Which is greater 4 centimeters or 500 millimeters?
4 centimeters = 40 millimeters. 500 millimeters is more than that.
Does it take more centimeters or decimeters to measure the height of a door?
It takes more centimeters. One decimeter is ten centimeters.
Which is more precise 123 millimeters or 2 centimeters?
millimeters
How to use metric scale?
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. !
Why is it possible to be more precise when measuring in millimeters rather than centimeters?
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.
Is 1 decimeter more than 10 centimeters?
No. They are exactly the same length.
Why is millimeters more accurate than centimeters?
This isn't always the case; however, millimeters are more accurate than centimeters when you want to measure smaller things.
How to convert centimeters to millimeters?
MULTIPLY, not divide, the number of centimeters by 10. The millimeters are smaller, so there would be more of them per cm.
Is 80 millimeters more than 40 centimeters?
no
