Answer: The given statement is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to check whether the following statement is true and false :

3.2 km is the same as
3.2*10^6~\textup{km}.

We know that

1 kilometer = 1000 meters and 1 meter = 100 centimeters.

So, we get


3.2~\textup{km}=3.2*1000~\textup{m}=3.2*1000*100~\textup{cm}=3.2*10^5~\textup{cm}.

Therefore,
3.2~\textup{km} is the same as
3.2*10^5~\textup{cm}

Thus, the given statement is FALSE.
