Express 56 cm in meter and kilometer.

Given :

The given term is 56 cm.

To do :

We have to express 56cm in meters and kilometers.

Solution :

We know that,

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

This implies,

$1 m = 10^{-3} km$ and $1 cm = 10^{-2} m$

Therefore,

56 cm in metres is,

$56 cm = 56 \times 10^{-2} m = 0.56 m$

56 cm in kilometres is,

$56 cm = 0.56 \times 10^{-3} km = 0.00056 km$.

56 cm can be expressed in meter as 0.56 m and kilometer as 0.00056 km.
