Hi,

Can anyone please check the following scientific metre to millimetre calculation for me:-

Subtract the second figure from the second

0.28432882m, 0.28052258m to milliemtres to (1 d.p.)

In 1m there are 1000mm,

0.28432882m x 1000 = 284.32882mm

0.28052258m x 1000 = 280.52258mm

therefore 284.32882mm - 280.52258mm =

3.80624 mm or 3.8mm ( to one decimal place)

3.8mm ( to one d.p.)

Thank You :-)

Excellent work! The answer and steps are correct.

Mathmate .. Thank you ! for your time & trouble

To calculate the difference between 0.28432882m and 0.28052258m in millimeters, follow these steps:

1. Convert both measurements from meters to millimeters. Since 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters, multiply each measurement by 1000.

0.28432882m x 1000 = 284.32882mm
0.28052258m x 1000 = 280.52258mm

2. Now subtract the second measurement from the first to find the difference.

284.32882mm - 280.52258mm = 3.80624mm

3. Round the result to one decimal place, which is the nearest tenths place.

So, the difference is 3.8mm (to one decimal place).
