Answer:

6.03m --> 0.00603km

Explanation:

Because... conversion!!

To convert m into km you need to divide by 1000.

If you wanted to check or convert 0.00603km back into m, you would have to multiply by 1000.

Why?

Because you want lesser units for better efficiency of saying (plus it's way easier than saying for example 100,000,000m)

I suggest that you use this mnemonic device for the order of each unit of measurement

Kangaroos Make Chocolate Milk

Kangaroo --> Kilometre

Make --> Metre

Chocolate --> Centimetre

Milk --> Millimetre

1000, 100, 10

If you want to convert millimetres into centimetres, you divide by 10

If you want to convert centimetres into metres, you divide by 100.

If you want to convert metres into kilometres (like before) you divide by 1000.

And if you really wanted to convert centimetres into kilomentres divide by 10,000.

If you wanted it going vice versa (km into m, cm to mm etc), you keep the factors of 10 and multiply instead.

Hope this helps~!

Answer:

Explanation:

1000 m = 1 km

1 m= 1/1000 km

6.03 m =
6.03*(1)/(1000) = 0.00603 \ km
