Convert 0.6 km to cm: Metric Unit Conversion Problem

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Convert kilometers to meters.
• Step 2: Convert meters to centimeters.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Convert kilometers to meters. Since $1 \text{ kilometer} = 1000 \text{ meters}$, for $0.6 \text{ kilometers}$, the calculation is:

$0.6 \text{ km} \times 1000 \text{ m/km} = 600 \text{ meters}$

Step 2: Convert meters to centimeters. Since $1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ centimeters}$, for $600 \text{ meters}$, the calculation is:

$600 \text{ m} \times 100 \text{ cm/m} = 60,000 \text{ centimeters}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $60,000 \text{ cm}$.
