How to convert 5 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 5 ⁢ mm = 0.001 ⁢ m x ⁢ m

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

x ⁢ m = 5 ⁢ mm 1 ⁢ mm * 0.001 ⁢ m → x ⁢ m = 0.005 ⁢ m

Conclusion: 5 ⁢ mm = 0.005 ⁢ m
