Chapter 2: Problem 29

Express the distance \(4736 \mathrm{~m}\) in kilometers \((1 \mathrm{~km}=1000 \mathrm{~m})\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
The distance of \(4736 m\) is equivalent to \(4.736 km\).

Step by step solution

01

Write the given values and conversion factor

We have the distance given in meters as \(4736 m\), and the conversion factor is \(1 km = 1000 m\).
02

Express distance in kilometers using conversion factor

In order to convert the distance from meters to kilometers, we can divide the given distance in meters by the conversion factor, which is 1000 meters: $$\frac{4736 m}{1000}$$
03

Calculate the distance in kilometers

Now, we can calculate the distance in kilometers by dividing 4736 by 1000. $$\frac{4736 m}{1000} = 4.736 km$$ So, the distance of \(4736 m\) is equivalent to \(4.736 km\).
