Answer:

length of a single chain link = 5.33 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data: chain contained 1000 chain links

total length was 0.0533km

1km = 1000m

1m = 100cm therefore 1km = 100000cm

total length in cm = 0.0533* 100000

total length in cm = 5330 cm

length of a single chain link = 5330/1000

length of a single chain link = 5.33 cm
