Answers & Comments
Answer:
1. Millimeters
2. 100 cm. 10 millimeters
3.Kilometers. 1000 meters.
4. This is a speed limit sign that indicates a speed limit of 60kph, as long as the road and vehicle conditions are safe to do it.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Millimeters. A millimeter is 10 times smaller than a centimeter. The distance between the smaller lines (without numbers) is 1 millimeter. 1 centimeter = 10 mm.
2. To convert centimeters to millimeters, multiply by 10 , centimeters x 10 = millimeters.
1 Meter (m) is equal to 100 centimeters (cm). To convert meters to cm, multiply the meter value by 100.
3. Just multiply kilometer value by 1000.
