Question

Arrange the following lengths in their increasing magnitude:
1 metre, 1 centimetre, 1 kilometre, 1 millimetre.

Answer 1

Since, 1 kilometre = 1000 metre
So, 1 kilometre > 1 metre

And 1 metre = 100 centimetre
So, 1 metre > 1 centimetre


And 1 centimetre = 10 millimetre
i.e 1 centimetre > 1 millimetre
Thus,
Ascending order of length:
1 millimetre < 1 centimetre < 1 metre < 1 kilometre
