Conversion formula
How to convert 12 kilometers to meters?
We know (by definition) that: 1 km = 1000 m.
We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of meters.
1 km / 12 km = 1000 m / x m
Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x m = (12 km / 1 km) * 1000 m → x m = 12000 m
Conclusion:
12 km = 12000 m
