Convert 125 Meters to Kilometers: Basic Unit Conversion Problem

Question

125m=?km 125m=?km

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert meters to kilometers, use the conversion factor: 1 km=1000 m 1 \text{ km} = 1000 \text{ m} . Thus, 1 m=11000 km 1 \text{ m} = \frac{1}{1000} \text{ km} .

  • Step 1: Identify the given measurement as 125 m 125 \text{ m} .
  • Step 2: Convert meters to kilometers by multiplying by 11000 \frac{1}{1000} km/m.

Calculation:
125 m×11000 km/m=0.125 km 125 \text{ m} \times \frac{1}{1000} \text{ km/m} = 0.125 \text{ km} .

The problem provides multiple-choice answers, and the correct answer is expressed as a fraction, so express 0.125 0.125 as a fraction:

0.125=1251000=18 0.125 = \frac{125}{1000} = \frac{1}{8} after simplification.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 18 \frac{1}{8} km.

Answer

18 \frac{1}{8}
