Question 100

Question. 100

100.

(a) 1 metre = ____ millimetres.

(b) 1 centimetre = ____ millimetres.

(c) 1 kilometre = ____ millimetres.

Answer:

(a) 1000 mm

(b) 10 mm

(c) 1,000,000 mm

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

(a) Convert metre → centimetre → millimetre.

Step 1: \(1\,\text{m} = 100\,\text{cm}\).

Step 2: \(1\,\text{cm} = 10\,\text{mm}\).

Step 3: \(100\,\text{cm} = 100 \times 10\,\text{mm}\).

So, \(100\,\text{cm} = 1000\,\text{mm}\).

Therefore, \(1\,\text{m} = 1000\,\text{mm}\).

(b) Centimetre to millimetre.

By definition: \(1\,\text{cm} = 10\,\text{mm}\).

(c) Convert kilometre → metre → millimetre.

Step 1: \(1\,\text{km} = 1000\,\text{m}\).

Step 2: From part (a), \(1\,\text{m} = 1000\,\text{mm}\).

Step 3: \(1000\,\text{m} = 1000 \times 1000\,\text{mm}\).

\(1000 \times 1000 = 1{,}000{,}000\).

So, \(1\,\text{km} = 1{,}000{,}000\,\text{mm}\).
