1,000 millimeters / 1 meter =? millimeters / 2 meters
1,000 millimeters / 1 meter = 2 meters /? millimeters
convert.
2 meters = millimeters

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

We know that 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters. To convert 2 meters to millimeters, we set up a proportion where the ratio of millimeters to meters is the same on both sides. The correct proportion is $\frac{1000\text{ millimeters}}{1\text{ meter}}=\frac{?\text{ millimeters}}{2\text{ meters}}$.

Step2: Solve the proportion

Cross - multiply: $1\times(?\text{ millimeters})=1000\times2$. So, $? = 2000$ millimeters.

2000
