100 millimeters

Explanation:

Question 5

Step1: Recall unit conversion factor

We know that \(1\) centimeter (\(cm\)) is equal to \(10\) millimeters (\(mm\)). So the conversion factor is \(1\ cm = 10\ mm\).

Step2: Convert 10 cm to mm

To convert \(10\ cm\) to \(mm\), we multiply the length in centimeters by the conversion factor. So we have \(10\ cm\times10\ \frac{mm}{cm}\).
Calculating this, \(10\times10 = 100\).

Answer:

100 millimeters
