How to convert Kilometer to Meter
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = \text{Length}_{\text{km}} \cdot {10}^{3}$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $40.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{m}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 40.0 \cdot {10}^{3}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 40000$$
$$\therefore \ 40.0\ \text{km} = 40000 \ \text{m}$$
Example 2
Convert $60.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{m}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 60.0 \cdot {10}^{3}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 60000$$
$$\therefore \ 60.0\ \text{km} = 60000 \ \text{m}$$
Example 3
Convert $115.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{m}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 115.0 \cdot {10}^{3}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 115000$$
$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{km} = 115000 \ \text{m}$$
Example 4
Convert $145.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{m}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 145.0 \cdot {10}^{3}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 145000$$
$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{km} = 145000 \ \text{m}$$
Example 5
Convert $170.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{m}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 170.0 \cdot {10}^{3}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{m}} = 170000$$
$$\therefore \ 170.0\ \text{km} = 170000 \ \text{m}$$
