Recall the relationship between meters and millimeters: 1 meter (m) is equal to 1000 millimeters (mm).
To find the fraction of a meter that corresponds to one millimeter, set up the ratio: \( \frac{1 \text{ mm}}{1 \text{ m}} \).
Since 1 meter = 1000 millimeters, rewrite the ratio as \( \frac{1 \text{ mm}}{1000 \text{ mm}} \).
Simplify the ratio by canceling the units (millimeters), leaving \( \frac{1}{1000} \).
Therefore, one millimeter is \( \frac{1}{1000} \) of a meter.
