Questions: Convert Metric Units: 2. (1 point) 1250 m = km

Solution Steps

To convert meters to kilometers, we need to understand that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, to convert meters to kilometers, we divide the number of meters by 1000.

To convert from meters to kilometers, we use the conversion factor that \(1 \, \text{km} = 1000 \, \text{m}\).

Given \(1250 \, \text{m}\), we convert to kilometers by dividing by the conversion factor: \[ \text{kilometers} = \frac{1250 \, \text{m}}{1000 \, \text{m/km}} \]

Perform the division: \[ \text{kilometers} = 1.25 \, \text{km} \]
