MCQ Detailed View

The meter (m) is the standard unit of length in the metric system. To measure smaller lengths, we use millimeters (mm). There are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter.

The conversion is simple because the metric system is based on powers of ten. One meter equals:

$$1\text{ m}=100\text{ cm}=1000\text{ mm}$$

Here’s how it works step by step:

1. 
   

   1 meter = 100 centimeters

   
   


2. 
   

   1 centimeter = 10 millimeters

   
   


3. 
   

   Multiply: $100\times 10=1000$ millimeters

   
   

So, 1 meter = 1000 millimeters.

Other options are incorrect:

• 
  

  10000 mm is too large.

  
  


• 
  

  10 mm is too small.

  
  


• 
  

  100 mm is also smaller than 1 meter.

  
  

Understanding this conversion is important in Physics, engineering, and everyday measurements, because it helps in calculating lengths accurately and using the correct units in experiments or construction.

In short, 1 meter equals 1000 millimeters, and this is a fundamental concept in length measurement and metric system conversions.
