Question

which is more, 6,996 millimeters or 7 meters?
6,996 millimeters
7 meters
neither; they are equal

Explanation:

Step1: Convert meters to millimeters

We know $1 \text{ meter} = 1000 \text{ millimeters}$, so:
$7 \text{ meters} = 7 \times 1000 \text{ millimeters} = 7000 \text{ millimeters}$

Step2: Compare the two values

Compare $6996 \text{ millimeters}$ and $7000 \text{ millimeters}$:
$7000 > 6996$

Answer:

7 meters
