D. 100, 300, 500

1 answer

To convert centimeters (cm) to millimeters (mm), you can use the conversion factor that 1 cm is equal to 10 mm.

Thus:

  • For 1 cm: \(1 \text{ cm} \times 10 = 10 \text{ mm}\)
  • For 3 cm: \(3 \text{ cm} \times 10 = 30 \text{ mm}\)
  • For 5 cm: \(5 \text{ cm} \times 10 = 50 \text{ mm}\)

So, the millimeters corresponding to 1 cm, 3 cm, and 5 cm are 10 mm, 30 mm, and 50 mm respectively.

The numbers that belong in the millimeters column are therefore: 10, 30, 50

Thus, the correct option is: C. 10, 30, 50
