Transcript text: Convert the measurement to the specified unit. Round to 4 decimal places if necessary.
$36 \mathrm{hm}=$ $\square$ km
Solution
Solution Steps
To convert hectometers (hm) to kilometers (km), we need to understand the relationship between these units. Since 1 hectometer is equal to 0.1 kilometers, we can convert the given measurement by multiplying the number of hectometers by 0.1.
Step 1: Understanding the Conversion
To convert from hectometers (hm) to kilometers (km), we use the conversion factor:
\[
1 \, \text{hm} = 0.1 \, \text{km}
\]
Step 2: Applying the Conversion
Given the measurement of \(36 \, \text{hm}\), we can calculate the equivalent in kilometers using the formula:
\[
\text{kilometers} = \text{hectometers} \times 0.1
\]
Substituting the given value:
\[
\text{kilometers} = 36 \times 0.1 = 3.6
\]
Step 3: Rounding the Result
The result \(3.6\) is already expressed to four decimal places as \(3.6000\).
