Length is the physical quantity which characterizes that on how many in number expression any given straight line is extended. There are several systems of measurement of length. One of the most widespread of them - metric which basis the meter is. Length can also be measured in centimeters, millimeters, etc. To transfer millimeters to meters very easily.
Instruction
1. At first it is worth understanding that, how much? contains of millimeters (mm) in 1 meter (m). One centimeter (cm) contains 10 mm. In turn, 1 m contains 100 cm. Mathematically it can be written down so: 1 m = 100 cm 1 cm = 10 mm.
2. Proceeding from the first step, it is possible to calculate how many millimeters contain in one meter: 100 cm *10 (how many times on 10 cm find room in 1 m) = 1000 mm. From here a conclusion follows that in in 1 meter 1000 millimeters. Transfer of millimeters to meters can be considered on such example: Average length of a step of the man 1.1 meters. To how many millimeters this length is equal?
3. Decision: It is known that in 1 meter 1000 millimeters, and in 10 centimeters 100 millimeters. Then 1000 mm + 100 mm = 1100 mm. Answer: average length of a step of the man of 1100 mm.
