Answer 2

23 centimeters =
We make the following rule of three:
1 centimeter ----> 1 kilometer
23 centimeter -> x kilometer
We clear x:
x = (23/1) * (1)
x = 23 kilometers
0.5 centimeters =
We make the following rule of three:
1 centimeter ----> 1 kilometer
0.5 centimeter -> x kilometer
We clear x:
x = (0.5 / 1) * (1)
x = 0.5 kilometers

9 centimeters =
We make the following rule of three:
1 centimeter ----> 1 kilometer
9 centimeter -> x kilometer
We clear x:
x = (9/1) * (1)
x = 9 kilometers
