Transcript text: Convert the measurement to the specified unit. Round to 4 decimal places if necessary.
\[
50 \mathrm{hm}=\square \mathrm{km}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Conversion Factor
To convert from hectometers (hm) to kilometers (km), we use the conversion factor:
\[
1 \, \text{hm} = 0.1 \, \text{km}
\]
Step 2: Apply the Conversion
Given the measurement of \(50 \, \text{hm}\), we can convert it to kilometers using the conversion factor:
\[
\text{kilometers} = 50 \, \text{hm} \times 0.1 \, \text{km/hm} = 5.0 \, \text{km}
\]
Step 3: Rounding
Since the result \(5.0\) already has four decimal places (as \(5.0000\)), no further rounding is necessary.
