Question

Write a propotion that can be used to convert 50 meters into kilometers. Then solve

Answer 1

0.05km

Explanation:

There are 1000 meters in a single kilometer. Using some dimensional analysis, we get set up the following expression:

`(50)/(1) (meters)/(1)(1)/(1000) (kilometers)/(meters)`

The meters will cancel leaving the units of kilometers:

`(50)/(1000) km=0.05km`
