The formulas for conversion are represented below:
km = m / 1000
Example: 30 meters in kilometers:
km = m / 1000
km = 30 / 1000
km = 0.03
m = km * 1000
Example: 1.5 kilometers in meters:
m = km * 1000
m = 1.5 * 1000
m = 1500
Considering that 1 Meter is equivalent to 0.001 Kilometer, you can use a rule of three to obtain that 100 Meters equal 0.1 Kilometer.
1 m - 0,001 km
100 m - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x m = 0,1 km2
x = 0,1 km
If every 1 Kilometer we have 1000 Meters, just multiply the number of Kilometers (100) by 1000, so you will get that 100 km equals 100,000 m. Observe the calculation below:
m = km * 1000
m = 100 * 1000
m = 100000
