1.56 - 156 cm

1.56m - 1560 mm

Its simple we need to multiply 100 for cm

and 1000 for mm

Answer 2

Given:

Height of person in meters= 1.56 m

To find:

Height of person in centimeters and milimeters=?

Solution:

To find the height of the person in the unit asked in the question we need to carry out interconversion between units.

1. Height in centimeters:

=> 1 cm = 0.01 m (Because we multiply by 100 when converting from m to cm)

∴ x cm = 1.56 m

=> x cm = $\frac{1 * 1.56}{0.01}$

=> x cm= 156 or 156 centimeters

2. Height in milimeters:

=> 1 mm= 0.001 m (Because we multiply by 1000 when converting from m to mm)

∴ x mm = 1.56 m

=> x mm= $\frac{1 * 1.56}{0.001}$

=> x mm = 1560 or 1560 milimeters

Therefore the height of the person in a centimeter is 156 cm and in millimeters is 1560 mm.
