To convert 1.5 millimeter to centimeter, divide by 0.100000. 1.5 ÷ 0.100000 = 0.1500 centimeter

1.5 millimeter equals exactly 0.150000 centimeter. For practical purposes, this is often rounded to 0.1500 centimeter.

Objects measuring approximately 1.5 millimeter include the thickness of a US penny (1.52 millimeter), the diameter of a 14 AWG electrical wire (1.63 millimeter), and a segment of a Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar (approximately 1.5 millimeter).

Converting millimeter to centimeter is useful for simplifying measurements in contexts where centimeter is the preferred unit, such as architectural drawings, textile measurements, or general consumer product dimensions. It provides a more manageable number for larger scales while retaining precision.

The easiest way to remember is to think of moving the decimal point one place to the left. Since 1 centimeter equals 10 millimeters, you simply divide the millimeter value by 10. For 1.5 millimeter, it becomes 0.15 centimeter.
