A scientist is working with 0.7 meters of gold wire. How long is the wire in millimeters?
0.7 meters * (1,000 millimeters / meter)
1 metre = 100 cm, and
1 cm = 10 mm
so ....
To convert meters to millimeters, you need to remember that there are 1,000 millimeters in 1 meter. So, to convert 0.7 meters to millimeters, you would multiply it by 1,000.
Here's the step-by-step calculation:
1 meter = 1,000 millimeters
0.7 meters * 1,000 = 700 millimeters
Therefore, 0.7 meters of gold wire is equivalent to 700 millimeters of wire.
