6mm as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand millimeters and decimals. A millimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, which is a part of a meter. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

Answer

 

6mm in decimals can be written as 0.006 meters.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 6mm to meters in decimal form, we use the conversion factor between millimeters and meters. There are 1000 millimeters in one meter. So, to convert millimeters to meters, we divide the number of millimeters by 1000.

 

Step 1: Identify the length in millimeters, which is 6mm.

 

Step 2: Use the conversion factor where 1 meter = 1000 millimeters.

 

Step 3: Divide 6 by 1000 to convert millimeters to meters.

 

Step 4: Perform the division: 6 ÷ 1000 = 0.006.

 

Thus, 6mm as a decimal in meters is 0.006.
