Question

1.2 meters to millimeters

Answer 1

1.2 meters to millimeters

​

using a rule of three

1 meter =1000 millimeters, so

1.2 meters = x millimeters

`(1)/(1000)=(1.2)/(x)`

solve for x

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(1000)=(1.2)/(x) \\ 1\cdot x=1.2\cdot1000 \\ x=1200 \end{gathered}`

Therefore

1.2 meters =1200 millimeters
