 Converting Centimetres to Millimetres
Learning Outcome: To convert from centimetres to
millimetres.
10 millimetres = 1 centimetre. To convert
centimetres to millimetres multiply by 10. For
example, 5 cm = 5 x 10 = 55 mm.

 Converting Millimetres to Centimetres
Learning Outcome: To convert from millimetres to
centimetres.

10 millimetres = 1 centimetre. To convert

millimetres to centimetres divide by 10. For
example, 80 mm = 80 ÷ 10 = 8 cm.
