Question

What is 16.45 m in kilometers?

Answer 1

`16.45/1000 = 0.01645` km

The units of distance in the metric system are:

Km`color(white)(xx)`Hm `color(white)(xx)`Dm`color(white)(xx)`m `color(white)(xx)`dm`color(white)(xx)`cm`color(white)(xx)`mm

Each unit is 10 times bigger than the next one on the right.

`16.45/1000 = 0.01645` km
