Convert Fraction: 1/5 km to m Using Metric System

To convert $\frac{1}{5}$ kilometers to meters, we follow these steps:

• Step 1: Recognize that the conversion factor is $1$ kilometer = $1000$ meters.
• Step 2: Multiply $\frac{1}{5}$ kilometers by $1000$ to find the equivalent in meters.

Let's carry out the calculation:

$\frac{1}{5} \text{ km} = \frac{1}{5} \times 1000 \text{ m}$ $= \frac{1000}{5} \text{ m}$ $= 200 \text{ meters}$

Therefore, the equivalent of $\frac{1}{5}$ kilometers in meters is $\boxed{200}$.
