OpenStudy (kootra):

um.. please continue?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large 1 : 40,000\) tht means, 1cm on map represents 40,000 cm on actual path

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

this looks better ^^

OpenStudy (kootra):

how would i convert that to kilometers?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

100cm = 1m 1000m = 1km

OpenStudy (anonymous):

centimeters is one-hundreth of a meter. a kilometer is a meter times a thousand. A millimeter is one-thousandth of a meter. To convert cm into km, take cm and divide it by 100 to find meters, and then divide by 1000 to find kilometers.

OpenStudy (kootra):

Good Heavens. This is ridiculous..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

FIrst lets figure out how much 15cm represents on map represents in cm

OpenStudy (kootra):

Enlighten me Professor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand how to convert? Need any help with the process?

OpenStudy (kootra):

Negative. Aye.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

centimeters is one-hundreth of a meter. a kilometer is a meter times a thousand. A millimeter is one-thousandth of a meter. To convert cm into km, take cm and divide it by 100 to find meters, and then divide by 1000 to find kilometers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 you're too smart ._.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope, im still thinking if i let too many zeroes in that multiplication lol pleaze verify ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm a lifesaver? Whut...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large 1~ :~ 40,000\) multiply 15 both sides : \(\large 15*1~ :~ 15*40,000\) \(\large 15 ~:~ 6,00,000\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This thing popped up on my screen wth. Lol brb

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Wow ! congrats lifesaver !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it say it by my name?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

does that make sense @Kootra

OpenStudy (kootra):

Aye.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large 15 ~:~ 6,00,000\) So, 15cm represents 6,00,000cm on actual path

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we just need to convert 6,00,000 cm into km

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1km = 1000 m = 1000 (100cm) = 100000 cm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

6,00,000 cm = 6 km

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that makes more or less sense..

OpenStudy (kootra):

Its correct.
