A rope is 440cm long How long is it in millimeters?

Metric Conversion: No Prefix (meter) - 1 - 1 meter in a meter Centi (centimeter) - 100 - 100 cm in a meter Milli (millimeter) - 1000 - 1000 mm in a meter From this you can derive other relationships. For example, to determine how many millimeters in a centimeter you can divide 1000(number of millimeters in a meter) by 100 (number of centimers in a meter) to get 10 millimeters in a centimeter. Since you have 440 centimeters and you need to convert it to millimeters, you multiple the number by 10 (the amount of millimeters in a centimeter) to get 4400 millimeters. Also, stop cheating on your homework.
