How to Convert Millimeters to Inches

By Convert on Jan 24, 2011 with Comments 0


Meter is a measurement of length. Metric rulers and tape measures usually give you the measurement in meters. Meter is divided into 100 centimeters and 100 centimeters further divided into 100 meters. We can express it as 1/100th of a meter. Similarly, millimeters are expressed as 1/1000th of a meter. More precisely, we can say that 25.4 or 25 4/100th millimeters are equal to one inch. A common guiding principle is to remember that one inch is equal to 2 ½ centimeters.
