Question

Convert 0.5 kilometers into meters.

• A. 500 Meters
• B. 5 Meters
• C. 50 Meters

Answer 1

The correct option is A 500 Meters

We know that kilometer is a unit of length.

The standard unit of length is meter.

Here, kilometer is above meter by 3 steps.

$\therefore$ We need to multiply 1 meter by 10 three times to get 1 kilometer.

Hence, $1\text{Meter}\times 10\times 10\times 10=1\text{Kilometer}$
$\Rightarrow 1000\text{Meters}=1\text{Kilometer}$

$\therefore 0.5\text{Kilometer}=0.5\times 1000\text{Meters}=500\text{Meters}$
