Question

There are 1,000 meters in 1 kilometer. Convert 5,000 meters to kilometers.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1,000 m in 1 km, so x km=5000m

Set up a proportion:

$\frac{1000m}{1km}=\frac{5000m}{x km}$

Cross multiply and solve for "x":

(1000 m)(x km)=(5000 m)(1 km)

1000x=5000

(1000x/1000)=5000/1000

x=5 km
