Question

Answer 1

Answer: 32,000 meters

Explanation:

By definition, 1 km = 1,000 m.

Make this into a conversion factor: [(1,000 m)/(1 km)]

Then convert 32 km to meters by multiplying, in order to cancel the km and leave just meters:

(32 km)*(1,000 m)/(1 km) = 32,000 meters

[Note that km cancel and we are left with meters]
