Question

Convert the following length from meter to kilometre using decimals:

$5\mathrm{m}$

Answer 1

Converting meter to kilometre :

We know that $1\mathrm{m}$ $=\frac{1}{1000}$ $=0.001\mathrm{km}$

Therefore, $5\mathrm{m}$ $=5\times \frac{1}{1000}=\frac{5}{1000}=0.005\mathrm{km}$

Thus, $5\mathrm{m}$ $=0.005\mathrm{km}$.
