Question

Use two unit multipliers to convert 145 centimeters to kilometers (show work)

Answer 1

• 0.00145 km or 1.45×
  `10^(-3)` km

Explanation:

We know:

• 1 km = 1000 m
• 1 m = 100 cm

Convert cm to km:

• 1 cm = 1/100 m = 1/100* 1/1000 km = 1/100000 km
• 145 cm = 145/100000 km = 0.00145 km or 1.45×
  `10^(-3)`
