Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are 10 mm in 1 cm.

We have 300 mm, so let's convert this to cm by using a proportion:


(10mm)/(1cm) =(300mm)/(x) , where x is the number of cm in 300 mm.

Cross-multiplying, we get: 10x = 300, so x = 30 cm.

Clearly, 30 cm > 3 cm, so yes, 300 mm is greater than 3 cm.

Hope this helps!
