How to convert 5 centimeters to kilometers?

We know (by definition) that: 1 cm = 1e-05 km.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of kilometers.

1 cm / 5 cm = 1e-05 km / x km

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x km = (5 cm / 1 cm) * 1e-05 km → x km = 5e-05 km

Conclusion:

5 cm = 5e-05 km
