To convert the length of the sandwich from millimeters to meters, we can use the fact that 1 meter equals 1,000 millimeters.
Given that the sandwich is 465 millimeters long:
\[
\text{Length in meters} = \frac{\text{Length in millimeters}}{1000} = \frac{465 \text{ mm}}{1000} = 0.465 \text{ meters}
\]
Thus, each sandwich is **0.465 meters** long.
