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.

centimeters are bigger than millimeters. Centi is 1/100 and milli is 1/1000
Convert to the same units, drop the units and simplify: 1 m = 1000 mm →1 mm : 100 m = 1 mm : 100 × 1000 mm = 1 mm : 100,000 mm = 1 : 100,000 This can not be simplified any further.
1 m = 100 cm = 1,000 mm so 1 m is 10 times greater than 100 mm
Covert to the same units then a comparison can be made, The centi- prefix means one hundredth (1/100 = 0,.01) → 1 cm = 1/100 m → 10 cm = 10 × 1/100 m = 1/10 m = 0.1 m The milli- prefix means one thousandth (1/1000 = 0.001) → 1 mm = 1/1000 m → 1000 mm = 1000 × 1/1000 m = 1 m 0.1 m ≠ 1 m → 10 cm ≠ 1000 mm No. 10 cm does not equal 1000 mm. ------------------------------------------------------- 1 cm = 1/100 m → 100 cm = 100 × 1/100 m = 1 m → 100 cm = 1000 mm (from above 1000 mm = 1 m) → 1 cm = 10 mm → 10 cm = 10 × 10 m = 100 mm
