Use the big, numbered markings for centimeters. On most metric measuring tapes, centimeters are the most prominent markings. Centimeters are usually labeled with large lines and, next to each line, a number. As with inches, the line marks each centimeter, not the number itself.
1 centimeter = 10 millimeters. A fingernail is about one centimeter wide. Two tape measures, one in mm, the other in cm. We can use millimeters or centimeters to measure how tall we are, or how wide a table is, but to measure the length of football field it is better to use meters.

And because a centimeter is 10 millimeters: 1 meter = 1000 millimeters. The back of this kitchen chair is 1 meter. A kilometer is equal to 1000 meters.
