Question 2 of 10

This question asks you to convert metres into kilometres.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Convert } 2500\,\text{m} \text{ into kilometres.}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Divide metres by 1000 and include km in the answer.

To convert metres to kilometres, divide the number of metres by 1000, because 1 km = 1000 m. For example, 2500 m ÷ 1000 = 2.5 km. Unit conversions are essential in measuring distances in geography, travel, and science. Practise converting various measurements to strengthen your understanding. Always check your units and include 'km' in your answer.
