Is 35 centimeters equal to 3.5 kilometers?

Answer 1

No, 35 centimeters will be equal to 35 X10-5 i.e. 0.00035 km

Not by a very long way. 3.5 kilometres is equal to 350,000 cm.

1 centimeter = one-hundreth of a meter (0.01 m)

and 1 kilometer = 1,000 metres

Thus, 35 cm = 0.35 m

and 3.5 km = 3,500 m =350 000 cm

It's easy to see why these are not the same without calculation. 35 cm is a distance you can measure with a piece of measuring tape used by people who make clothes and have to measure other people, 35 kilometers is a distance you drive with a car. Those are clearly not in the same range of magnitude.

1 cm = approximately the width of your finger nail.

1 m = About 0.6 times the height of an average person

1 km = 1000 meters, the scale at which distances between cities or walking/running competitions are measured.
