Remember that there is 100 centimeters in a meter, and 1000 meters in a kilometer. If you multiply both values together (so you have a conversion of centimeters to kilometers) you get 100,000. Therefore, 100,000 centimeters makes a kilometer. Divide 320,000 by 100,000 and you get 3.2. Therefore, a centimeter would represent 3.2 kilometers.
