Question

I need help cancelling units. please help

Answer 1

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step by step:

Let's write out the equation we would hypothetically use to convert 410 kilometers to meters:

  $410 kilometers * \frac{1000 meters}{1 kilometers}$

Let's see if there are any errors:

• there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer
• when converting kilometer --> meter

              ⇒ we want to get rid of the kilometer symbol

                   ⇒ which is done in this problem

                        $410 kilometers * \frac{1000 meters}{1 kilometers}=\frac{410 kilometers}{1 kilometers}*1000 meters = 410000meters$

Thus the answer is true

Answer: True

Hope that helps!
