Compare Length Units: 45.6 mm vs 2.3 cm Measurement Problem

Which is larger?

45.6 mm ⬜ 2.3 cm

To solve this problem, we will compare the sizes of 45.6 mm and 2.3 cm in the same units:

• Convert 2.3 cm to millimeters using the conversion factor: $1 \text{ cm} = 10 \text{ mm}$.

Let's calculate the conversion:

$2.3 \text{ cm} \times 10 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{cm}} = 23 \text{ mm}$

Now, we have two measurements to compare:

• 45.6 mm
• 23 mm

Since 45.6 mm is greater than 23 mm, we have:

$45.6 \text{ mm} > 2.3 \text{ cm}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $>$.
