Express 5 cm in meter and kilometer.

Given :

The given parameter is 5 cm.

To do :

We have to express 5 cm in meter and kilometer.

Solution :

We know that,

$1\ km = 1000\ m$ and $1\ m = 100\ cm$

$1 cm = \frac{1}{100} m = 0.01 m$

$1 cm = 0.01 \times 1 m = 0.01 \times \frac{1}{1000} km = 0.01 \times 0.001 km = 0.00001 km$

$5 cm = 5 \times 0.01 m = 0.05 m = 5 \times 10^{-2} m$.

$5 cm = 5 \times 0.00001 km = 0.00005 km = 5 \times 10^{-5} km$.

5 cm in meter is $5 \times 10^{-2} m$.

5 cm in km is  $ 5 \times 10^{-5} km$.
