Conversions Notice there are 10 lines in one centimeter. These are millimeters.

Conversions To convert from centimeters to millimeters, multiply by 10. 5cm=50mm To convert from millimeters to centimeters divide by 10. 50mm=5cm

Conversions There are 100 centimeters in one meter. How could we convert from centimeters to meters?

Conversions 50 cm=.5m (Centimeters to meters. Divide by 100) .5m=50cm (Meters to centimeters. Multiply by 100)

Conversions 1000mm = 1m 1m = 100 cm 1kg = ? g

Conversions 1000mm = 1m 1m = 100 cm 1kg = 1000g

Conversions 1000mm = 1m 1m = 100 cm 1kg = 1000g 1cm = ? mm

Conversions 1000mm = 1m 1m = 100 cm 1kg = 1000g 1cm = 10 mm
