The conversion factor for meters and millimeters is:
1 m/1000 mm
This means that there are 1000 millimeters in one meter. To convert from meters to millimeters, you multiply the measurement in meters by the conversion factor of 1000 mm/1 m. For example, if you have 5 meters, you can multiply it by the conversion factor:
5 m * (1000 mm/1 m) = 5000 mm
So, 5 meters is equal to 5000 millimeters.
Conversely, to convert from millimeters to meters, you divide the measurement in millimeters by the conversion factor of 1 m/1000 mm. For example, if you have 3000 millimeters, you can divide it by the conversion factor:
3000 mm ÷ (1 m/1000 mm) = 3 m
So, 3000 millimeters is equal to 3 meters.
Remember to always use the correct conversion factor and apply it consistently to ensure accurate conversions between meters and millimeters.
