Conversion formula
How to convert 5 meters to millimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 m = 1000 mm.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of millimeters.

1 m / 5 m = 1000 mm / x mm

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x mm = (5 m / 1 m) * 1000 mm → x mm = 5000 mm

Conclusion:

5 m = 5000 mm
