0.5 cm = 0.5 x 10^(-2) m
1.5 mm = 1.5 x 10^(-3) m OR 1.5 mm = 0.15 x 10^(-2) m
Since 0.5 [x 10^(-2)] is greater than 0.15 [x 10^(-2)], 0.5 cm is larger.

Well.........
1.5mm=1.5mm
0.5cm=5mm as there are 10mm in 1cm
so now that you have converted them both into the same unit you can see that 0.5cm is the bigger value.
Hope this helps lol. :p

Since a cm is 10 mm, half (.5) of a cm is 5 mm.
You do the math.

Let's work this out:
1cm = 10mm
So:
0.5cm = 5mm
And:
1.5mm = still 1.5mm
So: 0.5cm (or 5mm) is longer than 1.5mm (or 0.15cm).
If it helps:
10mm = 1cm
1000mm = 100cm = 1m
1000000mm = 100000cm = 1000m = 1km

1.5 mm = 0.15 cm
as 10 mm = 1 cm
0.5cm = 0.50 cm
As 0.15< 0.50cm

1.5 mm = 0.15 cm
0.5cm = 0.50 cm
0.15< 0.50cm

0.5cm = 5mm
Therefore:
0.5cm > 5mm
