We can always determine how far events or what the size of the subject occurs from us. Meters and millimeters (m and mm) are used everywhere to measure length. The metric system is a decimal measurement system that is used in most countries around the world. It is based on multiple 10, so you can quickly quickly convert millimeters into meters and, on the contrary, it is enough to multiply or divide the values.
Millimeter is a very small value. If we talk about it without a measuring device, you can safely compare this measure with a plastic card thickness or boiled out of 10 sheets of paper, folded over each other.
- Find the number of millimeters required to convert to meters. If this measurement is unknown, apply a ruler, centimeter or roulette for this. On standard roulette millimeters can be measured by the smallest divisions. Make sure you measure millimeters, and not centimeters (numbered lines). For example, a pencil length can be 155 mm.
- Record the result on the paper sheet, add zero after the last sign, putting a comma. To convert millimeters to meters, you need to divide. Since the metric system is based on the multiplicity of ten, the easiest way to do this is to move the comma to the left to the required number of characters. For example, if you convert 155 mm, write down 155.0. Then place your dirt pencil.
- Move the pencil for three sign to the left. Since one meter accounts for 1000 millimeters, you need to divide your result by 1000. For example, if your pencil has a length of 155.0 mm, it is necessary to move it to three decimal sign to the left. It will give you 0, 155 m.
Example: 150 m express in mm; 150 x 1000 \u003d 150000 mm.
There is nothing complicated to quickly convert one unit of measurements to another. It is enough to know the formula or have a computer with the Internet at hand.
