Answer:

0.00152 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to complete the conversion is by (1) converting cm to m and then (2) converting m to km. It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units.

1,000 m = 1 km

100 cm = 1 m

152 cm 1 m 1 km
------------- x -------------- x ---------------- = 0.00152 km
100 cm 1,000 m

Length Conversion

  • Knowing that 100,000 cm = 1 km.


\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf So \to \ \ 152\\ot{cm}*\frac{1 \ km}{100,000\\ot{cm}}=0.00152 \ km \end{gathered}$}

Answer:Therefore, the measurement of the object in km is: 0.00152 Kilometers.

I hope my answer is useful to you
