To convert millimeters to centimeters, we need to use the relationship between these two units of measurement. Specifically, we know that:
1 centimeter (cm) is equal to 10 millimeters (mm).
Given this relationship, we can convert millimeters to centimeters by dividing the number of millimeters by 10.
Here’s the step-by-step solution:
1. Start with the given measurement in millimeters:
[tex]\( 1050 \)[/tex] millimeters (mm)
2. Understand the conversion factor:
[tex]\( 1 \)[/tex] centimeter (cm) [tex]\( = 10 \)[/tex] millimeters (mm)
3. To convert millimeters to centimeters, divide the number of millimeters by the conversion factor (10):
[tex]\[
\text{centimeters (cm)} = \frac{\text{millimeters (mm)}}{10}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\text{centimeters (cm)} = \frac{1050 \text{ mm}}{10} = 105 \text{ cm}
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\( 1050 \)[/tex] millimeters is equal to [tex]\( 105 \)[/tex] centimeters.
