• C. 3.0
• D. 4.0

Answer: (B)

To convert millimeters to meters, it is important to know the relationship between these two metric units. There are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. This means that to convert from millimeters to meters, you need to divide the number of millimeters by 1,000.

In this case, you start with 2,500 millimeters. The conversion is calculated as follows:

[

\text{Meters} = \frac{\text{Millimeters}}{1,000}

]

Substituting the value:

[

\text{Meters} = \frac{2500}{1000} = 2.5

]

Thus, 2,500 millimeters is equal to 2.5 meters. This conversion process clearly shows how many whole meters are contained in 2,500 millimeters, which confirms that the correct answer is indeed 2.5 meters.
