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 bigger 100000 mm or 100 m?
Well, hello there! Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of measurements. 100 meters is actually bigger than 100,000 millimeters because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. So, even though the number 100,000 seems larger, in this case, 100 meters takes the cake! Just remember, both millimeters and meters are important in their own special way.
How many centimeters make one square meter?
Well, centimeters is just a length measurement, but if you mean square centimeters, then you take 100 centimeters times 100 centimeters to get 10000 square centimeters.
How many cigarettes end to end would it take to cover one mile?
I am a confirmed, habitual cigarette smoker. Although I am much too addicted to quit,I have not had one now in 6 years (and 9 months and 22 days).Last time I bought a pack, it was my usual brand of "hundreds", meaning that eachcigarette is 100 millimeters long ... that's the same as 0.1 meter.1 mile = 1,609.344 meters1,609.344 meters/0.1 meter per cigarette = 16,093 cigarettes, plus an ash.
