A measurment of 46 million centimeters is equivalent to what simple expression using kilometers?
will someone please help me
46 000 000 cm
= 460000 m , knocked off two zeros since 1 m = 100 cm
= 460 km , knocked off three zeros since i km = 1000 m
Ahh, the beauty of the metric system.
thank you and i know right
To convert centimeters to kilometers, you need to divide the measurement by 100,000 (since there are 100,000 centimeters in a kilometer).
So, to find the equivalent measurement in kilometers, you can divide 46 million centimeters by 100,000:
46,000,000 centimeters ÷ 100,000 = 460 kilometers
Therefore, a measurement of 46 million centimeters is equivalent to 460 kilometers.
