Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statements that convert metric units of length are:

1. 15 millimeters

Using the metric system, we can convert from smaller metric units to larger ones by multiplying, and from larger units to smaller ones by dividing.

For example, 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so to convert centimeters to meters, we divide by 100. Similarly, 1 meter is equal to 1,000 millimeters, so to convert millimeters to meters, we divide by 1,000.
