Move the decimal one to the right...
1.2907mm
All metric conversions are like that you just move the decimal to the left or right depending on how many measurements you are going through. So cm to mm is only one step, cm to m is cm, dm then m so two to the right.

Just multiply by 10 since 1 cm = 10 mm
0.12907 x 10 = 1.2907
Pl. ovserve that the decimal point shifts by one place to the right.

Hello,
Answer is 0.12907 cm = 1.2907.
Explanation below, stating with metric ladder.
Metric Ladder
mg, mm (millimeter, milligram)
cg, cm (centimeter, centigram)
dg, dm (decimeter, decigram)
g, m (gram or meter)
hkg, hm
dkg, dkm
kg, km (kilometer, kilogram)
converting upward (for example, kilograms (kg) to grams (g), move decimal to right for each level. When converting kg to grams, move decimal three places to the right. If you are given a number without a decimal, it means the decimal is at the end of the number (24 is 24. or 24.0)
converting downward, move decimal to left for each level. If you have to keep going and there are no more numbers to move past, use zeros. (24 g = 0.024 kg)
