What is 10 times the size of a millimeter?

It is a centimeter


If you convert from a centi metric unit to a milli metric unit are you going to a smaller unit or a larger unit in size?

1 centi is 10 times more than 1 milli. 1 milli is 1/10 of 1 centi. What helps me to remember is that one millimeter is a lot smaller (1/10) than a centimeter, so it takes more millimeters (10) to make one centimeter.

What distance is 10 times smaller than a centimeter?

The phrase "10 times smaller" is grammatically nonsensical, or more accurately, it doesn't really mean what people think it means. 10 times a centimeter is 10 centimeters, so to be 10 times smaller than 1 centimeter would be -9 centimeters 1cm - (10 x 1cm) = -9 centimeters. The more correct way to ask the question is (at least, this is what people usually mean when they say "X times smaller"), "What distance is 1/10th the size of a centimeter?" To which the answer is 1 millimeter. 1 centimeter is 1/100th of a meter (1 cent of a meter). 1 millimeter is 1/1000th of a meter.
