To convert centimeters to kilometers, we need to divide the length in centimeters by 100,000 (since 1 kilometer is equal to 100,000 centimeters).

Street length in kilometers = 80,000 cm / 100,000 cm = 0.8 km

Therefore, the street length is 0.8 kilometers.

Answer:

.8Km

Explanation:

There is exactly 100,000 CM in every KM, if someone such as Ben was to measure out 80,000, to convert to KM you'd take the given value and divide by the appropriate values.

80,000cm / 100,000cm = .8 KM
