How to perform key conversions involving length measurements

The formulas for conversion are represented below:

Kilometers to Meters Formula

m = km x 1000


Example: 30 kilometers in meters:

m = km x 1000

m = 30 x 1000

m = 30000



Meters to Kilometers Formula

km = m / 1000


Example: 1500 meters in kilometers:

km = m / 1000

km = 1500 / 1000

km = 1,5



Frequently asked questions involving length and distance

1.5 km in meters

Considering that 1 kilometer is equivalent to 1000 meters, you can use a rule of three to get that 1.5 km equals 1500 meters.

  1 km - 1000 m

1,5 km - x

Apply the rule of three and get:

x km = 1500km2

x = 1500 m



100 meters equals how many kilometers?

If every 1000 meters we have 1 kilometer, just divide the number of meters (100) by 1000, so you will get that 100 m equals 0.1 km. Observe the calculation below:

km = m / 1000

Km = 100 / 1000

km = 0,1
