Question

Convert each of the following lengths to the units requested.

A. 17.3 m to kilometers.
B. 2.56 m to kilometers
C. 567 dm to meters
D. 5.13 m to millimeters

Answer 1

A=0.173 Km

B=0.00256 km

C=56.7 m

D=5130 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to know that

`1km=1000m\\\\1dm=0.1m\\\\1000mm=1m`

so we can form the following

`(1km)/(1000m)=1\\\\(0.1m)/(1dm) \\\\(1000mm)/(1m)`

so in A

`17.3m\\\\=17.3m*1\\\\=17.3m((1km)/(1000m) )\\\\=0.0173km`

in B

`2.56m\\\\=2.56m*1\\\\=2.56m((1km)/(1000m) )\\\\=0.00256km`

in C

`567dm\\\\=567dm*1\\\\=567dm((0.1m)/(1dm) )\\\\=56.7m`

in D

`5.13m\\\\=5.13m*1\\\\=5.13m((1000mm)/(1m) )\\\\=5130mm`
