34.215 kilometers you move the decimal to the left three places because Kilo means 1000 and there are 3 zeros in 1000. you move left because Kilometer is bigger than meter.

For this case, the first thing you should do is take into account the following unit conversion:


1 Km = 1000m

Therefore, we must apply the conversion to the given amount.

We have then:


34215m((1Km)/(1000m))=34.215Km

Answer:

The length in kilometers of the trail is 34.215Km.
