To find the number of centimeters in 2 kilometers, we need to use the conversion factors given: 100 centimeters in 1 meter and 1000 meters in 1 kilometer.

Step 1: Start with the given quantity in kilometers, which is 2 kilometers.

Step 2: Use the conversion factor of 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Since we want to convert from kilometers to meters, we multiply 2 kilometers by the conversion factor:

2 kilometers * (1000 meters / 1 kilometer) = 2000 meters

Step 3: Now, we have the quantity in meters. To convert it to centimeters, we use the conversion factor of 100 centimeters in 1 meter. Multiply the value in meters by this conversion factor:

2000 meters * (100 centimeters / 1 meter) = 200,000 centimeters

Therefore, 2 kilometers is equivalent to 200,000 centimeters.

Hope this explanation helps you understand the steps to get the answer.

2 km * (100 cm/m)* (1000 m/km)

= 2*10^5 cm
