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

Answer:

A=0.173 Km

B=0.00256 km

C=56.7 m

D=5130 mm

Explanation:

first we need to know that

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

so we can form the following

$\frac{1km}{1000m}=1\\\\\frac{0.1m}{1dm} \\\\\frac{1000mm}{1m}$

so in A

$17.3m\\\\=17.3m*1\\\\=17.3m(\frac{1km}{1000m} )\\\\=0.0173km$

in B

$2.56m\\\\=2.56m*1\\\\=2.56m(\frac{1km}{1000m} )\\\\=0.00256km$

in C

$567dm\\\\=567dm*1\\\\=567dm(\frac{0.1m}{1dm} )\\\\=56.7m$

in D

$5.13m\\\\=5.13m*1\\\\=5.13m(\frac{1000mm}{1m} )\\\\=5130mm$
