Question

It is 8 kilometers from Lucy's house to the nearest mailbox. How far is it in meters?

Answer 1

The prefix 'kilo' stands for 'one thousand'. So, 1 km = 1000m

This obviously implies that 8km is the same as 8000m

Answer 2

1 kilometer = 1000 meters

8 kilometers = 1000 meters × 8

Ans = 8000 meters

If you need a better explanation just as in the comments.
