Question

Measure your pin or pencil in centimeters and convert from centimeters to meters from meters to kilometers and centimeters to kilometers

Answer 1

To perform the conversions, you'll first need to measure your pin or pencil in centimeters. Let’s say, for example, it measures **15 centimeters**. Here are the steps to convert that measurement into meters, kilometers, and from centimeters directly to kilometers:

1. **Convert centimeters to meters**:
- 1 meter = 100 centimeters
- \( \text{Meters} = \text{Centimeters} \div 100 \)
- \( 15 \, \text{cm} = 15 \div 100 = 0.15 \, \text{m} \)

2. **Convert meters to kilometers**:
- 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
- \( \text{Kilometers} = \text{Meters} \div 1000 \)
- \( 0.15 \, \text{m} = 0.15 \div 1000 = 0.00015 \, \text{km} \)

3. **Convert centimeters directly to kilometers**:
- \( \text{Kilometers} = \text{Centimeters} \div 100,000 \) (since 1 km = 100,000 cm)
- \( 15 \, \text{cm} = 15 \div 100,000 = 0.00015 \, \text{km} \)

### Summary of the conversions:
- **15 centimeters** = **0.15 meters**
- **0.15 meters** = **0.00015 kilometers**
- **15 centimeters** = **0.00015 kilometers**

Feel free to measure your pin or pencil, and you can substitute the values to do the conversions accordingly!
