Question

I need help cancelling units. please help

Answer 1

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step by step:

Let's write out the equation we would hypothetically use to convert 410 kilometers to meters:

`410 kilometers * (1000 meters)/(1 kilometers)`

Let's see if there are any errors:

• there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer
• when converting kilometer --> meter

⇒ we want to get rid of the kilometer symbol

⇒ which is done in this problem

`410 kilometers * (1000 meters)/(1 kilometers)=(410 kilometers)/(1 kilometers)*1000 meters = 410000meters`

Thus the answer is true

Answer: True

Hope that helps!
