1 kilometer equals 1000 meters. so you would divide 3200 by 1000 and get 3.2 so you moved over three because there are 3 0's in 1000 holding 3 place values . <br />

Considering the fact that you are going from largest to smallest you are going to have to divided by 10 three time or you would just simply move the decimal point to the left 3 times. Which is giving you the answer of 3.2 meters.

Answer: 3.2 meters
