Question

On a caterpillars map all distances are marked in kilometers . The caterpillars map shows the distance between two milkweed plants is 4,012 milimeters what is the distance in kilometers

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance in kilometers is 4012 ×$10^{-6}$ km.

Explanation:

We know that the conversion of 1 millimeters is equal to $10^{-3}$ meter. And then the conversion of 1 meter is equal to $10^{-3}$ km. Then the conversion of 1 millimeter to km will be

1 mm = $10^{-3}$ m

1 m = $10^{-3}$ km

So, 1 mm = $10^{-3}$×$10^{-3}$ km = $10^{-6}$ km.

As here the the distance is 4012 mm, then the distance in km will be

4012 mm = 4012 ×$10^{-6}$ km.

So the distance is 4012 ×$10^{-6}$ km.
