You divide the number of meters by 1000 to get distance in kilometers. You multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 to get the distance in meters. Generally, when converting from a large unit to a smaller one, you multiply. You divide when going from smaller to larger. However, conversion factors are often given that imply multiplication, no matter what direction you're going. For example, to convert from feet to inches, multiply by 12. To go from inches to feet, multiply by 0.0833 (which is 1/12, of course). In the metric system, it's more common: to go from kilometers to meters, multiply by 1000; to go from meters to kilometers, multiply by 0.001. Those who are good at math understand that multiplying by a fraction (a value less than one) is the same as dividing by its reciprocal.
There are 1,000 millimeters in a meter and 1,000 meters in a kilometer. So, multiply 3.6 km by 1,000 meters by 1,000 millimeters, and you have 3.6 million millimeters.
well 69 meters equals 1 metre and 42 metres equals 2 kilometres, so you work out the maths
You can't "change" centimeters to meters. But you can describe a length or a distance in terms of either unit. -- If you know the length in centimeters, divide that number by 100 to find the number of meters in the same distance. -- If you know the length in meters, multiply that number by 100 to find the number of centimeters in the same distance.
There are 1000 millimetres in a metre. So multiplying 2000 metres by 1000 will give you 2,000,000 or 2 million millimetres.
divide the millimeters by 1000 to get them in meters. Answer = 0.876 meters
To change meters into millimeters, multiply by 1000. (There are 1000 mm in 1 m.)
Multiply by 1,000
1 meter = 1000 millimeter 1 millimeter = 0.001 meter
To convert meters to millimeters, you multiply the length in meters by 1000, since there are 1000 millimeters in one meter. For example, if you have 2 meters, you would multiply 2 by 1000 to get 2000 millimeters.
Divide by 1000 to change millimeters to meters; 25mm = 0.025m.
multiply by 1000, = 112,000mm
measure the millimeters and divide by 100. Or measure the meters and multiply by 10.
2 meters is equal to 2000 millimeters. To convert meters to millimeters, multiply by 1000, and to convert millimeters to meters divide by 1000. (Meters to milimeters: move decimal to right 3 times, and millimeters to meters, 3 times to the left.)
A "cms" (Centimeter) is one hundredth of a Meter A "mms" (Millimeter) is one thousandth of a Meter Therefore if you have Meters and want them in Centimeters you multiply by 100, if you want them in Millimeters you multiply by 1000. And it follows that if you have Centimeters and want them in Millimeters you multiply by 100 or if you want them in Meters you divide by 100. And if you have Millimeters and want them in Centimeters you divide by 100 or if you want them in Meters you divide by 1000. This information answers your question, but you have to do a simple sum yourself.
1 meter = 1000 mm. Divide the millimeters by 1000 to convert to meters, then multiply.
What do you want to convert that to? To convert to millimeters, multiply by 10. To convert to meters, divide by 100.
There are 1000mm per meter. So, mm/1000 = meters
