What fraction of 1km is 50 meters?

Answer 1

Make the units the same, in this case m.

1 km = 1000 m

So 50/1000 = 1/20

Answer 2

Well, isn't that a happy little question! 50 meters is just a small part of a kilometer, like a tiny squirrel in a big forest. If we think of a kilometer as a delicious cake, 50 meters would be just a tiny slice - it's 1/20th of the whole kilometer. So, the fraction of 1km that 50 meters represents is 1/20.
