That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
To convert centimeters to millimeters, you multiply by 10 because there are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. Therefore, 50 centimeters (cm) is equal to 50 x 10 = 500 millimeters (mm). This conversion is straightforward because the metric system is based on powers of ten, making it easy to move between units by simply shifting the decimal point. This principle helps ensure accuracy and consistency in scientific measurements and everyday use.
