Question

Express $5km245m$ in kilometres.

Answer 1

We know that, $1km=1000m$

$\Rightarrow$ $1m=\frac{1}{1000}km$

For converting $metres$ into $kilometres$, we have to multiply the given value in $metres$ by $\frac{1}{1000}$.

$5km245m$$=5+245\times \frac{1}{1000}km$

$=5+\frac{245}{1000}$

$=5+0.245$

$=5.245km$.

Therefore, $5km245m$$=5.245km$
