220 mm = 22 cm = .22 m

8.6 kg = 8600 g = 8600000 mg
Dewd......... You had best get your feces collated on this. It's pretty basic and you'll be using it all the time. Like it or not, learn the metric system and learn it well. Especially learn the prefixes ☺

There have been lots of unit conversion problems tonight. To convert 220 mm to meters, you have to move the decimal 3 places because 1000 mm is the same as 1 meter. But do you move it left or right? If the unit is getting larger, the digits need to get smaller to keep the same value. If you have 6 dollars, that's the same as 600 pennies, right?
So to convert 220 mm to meters you have to move the decimal 3 places to the left: 220 mm = 0.22 meters.
If you understand what I tried to explain, the rest should be easy.
