metric conversion
240millimeters to centimeters, decimeters, meters, decameters, hectometers, kilometers
The units go this way.
kilo
hecta
deca
unit(liter, meter, gram, second)
deci
centi
milli
Move the decimal point to the left when moving UP the scale. Move the decimal point to the right when moving DOWN the scale. For example, 240 mm to cm, put your pencil on the decimal point; i.e., 240., then count from milli to centi. That is 1 place so move the decimal point to the left 1 place and the answer is 240 mm = 24.0 cm.
To convert 240 millimeters to different metric units, we need to understand the relationship between these units. Here's the step-by-step process for each conversion:
1. Millimeters to Centimeters:
Since there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter, we divide the length by 10.
240 millimeters / 10 = 24 centimeters
2. Millimeters to Decimeters:
Since there are 100 millimeters in a decimeter, we divide the length by 100.
240 millimeters / 100 = 2.4 decimeters
3. Millimeters to Meters:
Since there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter, we divide the length by 1,000.
240 millimeters / 1000 = 0.24 meters
4. Millimeters to Decameters:
Since there are 10,000 millimeters in a decameter, we divide the length by 10,000.
240 millimeters / 10,000 = 0.024 decameters
5. Millimeters to Hectometers:
Since there are 100,000 millimeters in a hectometer, we divide the length by 100,000.
240 millimeters / 100,000 = 0.0024 hectometers
6. Millimeters to Kilometers:
Since there are 1,000,000 millimeters in a kilometer, we divide the length by 1,000,000.
240 millimeters / 1,000,000 = 0.00024 kilometers
So, the conversion from 240 millimeters is:
240 millimeters = 24 centimeters = 2.4 decimeters = 0.24 meters = 0.024 decameters = 0.0024 hectometers = 0.00024 kilometers.
