Answer 1

Ask yourself this.. "is milli smaller than or bigger than the original phrase?"

Answer 2

The term "Milli" mean a thousand.. so one meter would mean 1000 millimeters.

Answer 3

Your answer would be C-0.015 because you are turning the milligrams into grams. which puts the last digit in the "ThousandTHS" place.

Answer 4

Wouldnt it be A then?

Answer 5

a millimeter is the little strokes on your ruler..
so a millimeter is TINY compared to one meter...
1 METER = 1000 millimeters
so if we want ONE millimeter we have to divide 1 meter by 1000. Therefore,
1 MILLIMETER = 0.001 meters
now multiply both sides by 15.
