How to convert 15 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 / 15 km = 1000 m / x m

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

x m = (15 km / 1 km) * 1000 m x m = 15000 m

Conclusion:

15 km = 15000 m
