1ft=308.4 mm
So multiply 308.4 by 100= 30,840mm

The standard easy conversion to remember is
2.54 centimeters = 1.0 inche
Since you need the length of the whale in mm convert the above to millimieters.
1.0 centimeter = 10 millimeters
so
2.54 centemetes = 25.4 millimeters
now you have
25.4 millimeters = 1.0 inches
but your whale is measured in feet so convert your inches to feet.
Multiple both sides by 12 since there are 12 inches in one foot.
25.4 x 12 millimeters = 1 inches X 12
304 millimeter = 1 foot
so 100 foot whale = 304 millimeters x 100 = 30400 mm
