Answer: C) 6000 mm

Step-by-step explanation: There are 1000 mm in a meter. So, if the flagpole is 6 meters, then that means it has to be 6000mm.

Hope this helps.

Answer: C) 6,000 mm

Explanation:

We can set up a dimensional analysis problem to help us solve. We know there are 1,000 mm in a m.


\displaystyle 6m((1000mm)/(1m))

The units
(m)/(m) cancel out, leaving us with mm units. This is what we want as it asks for the answer in mm, so we will multiply across and simplify.


6 * 1,000 = 6,000
