How to convert 500 millimeters to meters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 mm = 0.001 m.

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

1 mm / 500 mm = 0.001 m / x m

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

x m = (500 mm / 1 mm) * 0.001 m → x m = 0.5 m

Conclusion:

500 mm = 0.5 m
