For this case we have:

Note: Milliliter is a unit of volume. It is not possible to convert distance units into volume units.

We must convert the length 0.13 meters to millimeters.

By definition, 1 meter equals 1000 millimeters. That is to say:


1m = 1000mm

Then, applying the rule of three we have:

1m ------------> 1000mm

0.13m --------> x

Where x represents the length of the marker in millimeters.

Resolving:


x = \frac {(0.13 * 1000)} {1}


x = \frac {130} {1}\\x = 130

Thus, the marker measures 130 millimeters long

Answer:

130 millimeters
