this is the same as regconising distance in the metric system. In distance a kilometer is 1000 meters. The same is true for volumes, a kiloliter is 1000 liters.Think of the prefix kilo as meaning "a thousand of"
It basically already is. One km means One Thousand Meters, so 127 kilometers means 127 thousand meters, which could be written either as 127,000m or One hundred twenty thousand meters.
To start with, let's convert these kilometers into meters. Then we'll turn the meters into centimeters.Kilo- is a prefix in the metric system meaning one thousand. This means that there are one thousand meters in every kilometer. In order to turn the kilometer measurement you gave above into meters, we therefore need to multiply it by one thousand.0.13 * 1000 = 130 mCenti- is the metric prefix meaning one hundredth. This means that there are 0.01 meters in every centimeter or, in a way that makes more sense, 100 centimeters in every meter. In order to turn these meters into centimeters, we therefore need to multiply the number we found above by 100.130 * 100 = 13,000 cm
kilo means "Thousand" so if you put it together it says Thousand meters. 1 Kilometer= 1000 meters
There are 1000 Meters in a Kilometer (Kilo means thousand)
