Question

Scientists found the wreck of the titanic 3797 m below sea level. How many km below sea level is the wreck?

Answer 1

It is 3.797 km down       

Answer 2

We are given that the titanic is found 3,797 m below sea level. This is simply equivalent to 3.797 km or 3.8 km when rounded off to one decimal.

We should take note that the letter k in km means kilo and a kilo is equivalent to 1000. So this means that for 1 km there is exactly 1000 m. So to convert, simply multiply a value with unit m with this conversion factor. Conversion factor = 1 km / 1000 m

Depth of titanic = 3,797 m (1 km / 1000 m)

Depth of titanic = 3.797 km = 3.8 km
