Answer:

Explanation:

There are several that could be used. The goal is to find two that will provide cancellation of units that results in a change from centimeters to kilometers.

[cm = centimeter, m = meters, and km = kilometers]

-----------------------------

There are:

100 cm/m, and

1,000 m/km.

Since these are both conversion factors, we can invert them to obtain:

Y: 1 m/100 cm, and

Z: 1 km/1,000 m

let X: be the 278,420 cm

Since we are going from cm to km, we can see that if we multiply:

Xcm*(Ym/cm)*(Zkm/m)

Xcm*(Ym/cm)*(Zkm/m)

The cm, and m both cancel out, leaving only XYZ km

Therefore:

(278420 cm)*(1m/100cm)*(1km/1,000m) = (278,420 cm)/(100,000cm/km)

(278,420 cm)/(100,000cm/km) = 2.7842 km
