Example 1: Convert 15 cm to MM
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Multiply by 10 | 15 x 10 | 150 mm |
| 2. Divide by 100 for meters | 15 / 100 | 0.15 m |
| 3. Scientific notation | 150 mm | 1.5 x 10^2 mm |
15 cm = 150 mm = 0.15 m.
Example 2: Convert 2.5 cm to MM
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Multiply by 10 | 2.5 x 10 | 25 mm |
