mm to km conversion can be done using multiplication or division.

First, let’s convert 211.5 mm to km using multiplication method:

We know that there are 0.000001 kilometers in a mm.

km = number of mm × 0.000001

thus, 211.5 mm = (211.5 × 0.000001) km

∴ 211.5 mm = 0.0002115 km

Next, let’s convert 211.5 mm to km by using the division method:

There are 1000000 mm in a km. To use division method of conversion, we will use following formula:

km = number of mm ÷ 1000000

thus, 211.5 mm = (211.5 ÷ 1000000) km

∴ 211.5 mm = 0.0002115 km

211.5 mm = 0.0002115 km

Millimeter

The millimeter is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to 0.001 meters, the base unit of length in the SI unit system. The standard symbol of the millimeter is mm.

The smallest measurement unit is usually a millimeter on the metric ruler. Some engineering rulers have measurements in increments of 0.5 mm.

The International Yard and Pound Agreement was signed by seven countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States in 1959. In this agreement, the value of the international yard was defined as exactly 0.9144 meters. This consequently made an inch exactly 0.0254 meters, or 25.4 millimeters, as there were 36 inches in a yard.

The millimeter is used to measure the lengths of very small objects such as the width of the human hair, the size of a pen tip, the size of medicine, etc.

Kilometer

Inch is often used to measure the height of a person. Apart from height measurement, the inch also has other common uses such as measuring electronic components, furniture dimensions, shoe sizes, packaging boxes, etc.

The metric system was implemented in France in 1799, and the meter was made the base unit of length. However, meter was not suitable for all purposes of length measurement, for example, to measure long distances. A unit called the myriameter was popular to represent 10000 meters until 1867. The Netherlands made the term kilometer official to represent 1000 meters in 1867. In 1935, the CIPM (International Committee for Weights and Measures) abolished the prefix “myria”, which gave broader recognition to the kilometer as the unit of length for measurements of similar extent as myriameter.

The most common use of the kilometer is to measure distances between geographical places, lengths of the racing tracks, etc. It is used in combination with other units to calculate the fuel efficiency (kilometers per liter), speed (kilometers per hour), etc.
