Answer:

Yes, 10 millimeters is the same as 1 centimeter.

Explanation:

Kathy can compare the two measurement because 10 millimeters equals 1 centimeter

This means

10 millimeters of her finger = 1 centimeter of the same finger

100 millimeters of her finger = 10 centimeters of her finger

1000 millimeters of her finger = 100 centimeters of her finger

Therefore, Kathy can compare both measurement ( millimeters and centimeters).
