Answer to Problem 52P

The result is 4.8km=4800m

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $4.8km=\_m$

Calculation:

The given units are customary units of lengths. For conversion, please refer to conversion table given book, reproduce here.

Unit 1	Unit 2
1 centimeter (cm)	10 millimeter (mm)
1 meter (m)	100 centimeter (cm)
1 kilometer (km)	1000 meter (m)

Since, 1 kilometer has 1000 meters. To find meters in 4.8km, we must scale up meters in kilometer by 4.8. In other words, multiply conversion factor (1000) by actual kilometers to be converted.

So,

  $\begin{array}{l}4.8km=4.8\times 1000m\\ =4800m\\ Therefore,4.8km=4800m\end{array}$

Conclusion:

The result is 4.8km=4800m
