Meter (abbreviation: m): is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum within 1/299792458 seconds.
Millimeter (abbreviation: mm): is a unit of length in the SI metric system, equal to one thousandth of a metre. Therefore, there are thousand millimetres in a metre and ten millimetres in a centimetre.
How to Convert Meters to Millimeters
Example: How many millimeters are equivalent to 11.61 meters?
As;
1 meters = 1000 millimeters
11.61 meters = Y millimeters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 11.61 times 1000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 11.61 * 1000 / 1 = 11610 millimeters
Answer is: 11610 millimeters are equivalent to 11.61 meters.
