How many centimeters are in one millimeter?

  • A. 1/100 cm
  • B. 0.1 cm
  • C. 1 cm
  • D. 10 cm
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.1 cm. One millimeter is equal to 0.1 centimeters, not 1/100th cm as mentioned in choice A. Choice C, 1 cm, is incorrect as a millimeter is smaller than a centimeter. Choice D, 10 cm, is incorrect as it incorrectly magnifies the conversion, making a millimeter larger than a centimeter. Therefore, the accurate conversion is that one millimeter equals 0.1 centimeters.
