The answer to your question can be found here at this source: However, the metric system is base 10, which means that unit names denote specific units of 10. for length everything is based of the unit name METER, and a CENTImeter is 100th part of 1 meter CENTI is Latin or Greek (I forget which) root for 100th. while MILLImeter is 1000th part of 1 meter.

Thus:

1 millimeter is 1 tenth of 1 centimeter. (1/10 of a centemeter)

1 centimeter = 10 millimeters
.1 cm = 1 mm
There are 0.1 centimeters in 1 milimeter, or 10 mm in 1 cm.

ADDITIONAL ANSWER

Answer # 1 is correct, there are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. Part of homeschooling is being creative in finding answers to questions. While using your computer and accessing WikiAnswers is certainly a great way to get answers, make your student (s) aware that most dictionaries have charts of weights and measures as well as charts of equivalents of metric and U.S. weights and measures. I think every household should have a couple good dictionaries! (our home has 5!). Most dictionaries also have pronunciation key charts, etymology key charts, language charts and even foreign sound charts. My dictionary even has a table of English sounds and their common spellings!. As you can probably tell, I'm a bit of a dictionary "nut", but I think that they are invaluable for every household, especially anyone involved in homeschooling.

I agree. I looked it up and you are right.
