Answer 2

Answer:

2.3678 kilometers is longer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of conversion is

10 millimeters = 1 centimeter

100 centimeters = 1 meter

1000 meters = 1 kilometer

Therefore, centimeters to kilometers  would be 23678÷ (100× 1000): a smaller to a larger measurement would require division. This results in 0.23678 kilometers, which is shorter than 2.3678 kilometers.

Or, kilometers to centimeters would be, 2.3678 × (100× 1000): a larger to smaller measurement requires multiplication. This results in 236780 centimeters which is longer than 23678 centimeters.

Baseline is 2.3678 kilometers is longer than 23678 centimeters.
