Solved Example on Millimeter

Measure the Length of the strip to the nearest millimeter.

Choices:
A. 80 mm
B. 70 mm
C. 75 mm
D. 8 mm
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Step 1: The scale shown for measuring the strip is a Centimeter scale.
Step 2: Each Division in the Centimeter scale is 1 mm. [1 cm = 10 mm.]
Step 3: The strip in the given figure is measuring 7 cm.
Step 4: 7 cm = (7 × 1) cm = (7 × 10) mm = 70 mm [Convert cm to mm.]
Step 5: So, the Length of the strip to the nearest Millimeter is 70 mm.
