Question

Express as kilometres using decimals: $8888m$

Answer 1

Express the given units in kilometres

As we know that, $1km=1000m$, so, to convert metres into kilometres we can divide the metres units by $1000$.

Given, $8888m$

Using unitary method we get,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 1000m=1km \\ \Rightarrow 1m=\frac{1}{1000}km \\ \Rightarrow 8888m=\frac{8888}{1000}km \\ \Rightarrow 8888m=8.888km \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, $8888m$ can be written as $8.888km$.
