📏 What’s the Difference Between Millimeters and Meters?

Both millimeters and meters are metric units of length, but they’re used for different scales:

A millimeter (mm) is great for tiny measurements (like paper thickness, screw sizes).
A meter (m) is used for larger distances (room size, human height, fabric length).

✅ Conversion Rule:

1 meter = 1,000 millimeters
So,
1 millimeter = 0.001 meters

📌 Real-Life Examples

Example 1:
You want to convert 500 mm into meters.
👉 500 ÷ 1,000 = 0.5 m

Example 2:
Your table is 1,200 mm long.
👉 1,200 ÷ 1,000 = 1.2 m

Example 3:
The ceiling height is 2,450 mm.
👉 2,450 ÷ 1,000 = 2.45 m
