Question

Which is more, 140 millimetres or 14 centimetres?

• A. 140 millimeters
• B. 14 centimeters
• C. Both are equal
• D. Cannot say

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both are equal

To convert a larger unit (m) to a smaller unit (mm) we multiply by the conversion factor.
Here convert 14 cm to mm

We know that 1cm = 10mm
Therefore 14 cm = 4 x 10

= 140mm

Therefore 140 mm is same as 14 cm.

Answer: option C. Both are equal
