Explain the units and how to solve the following metric conversion then solve the metric conversion by filling in the blank 12KM=—- m.

Respuesta :

Answer:- 12 km = 12000 m

Solution:- It's a metric unit conversion where we are asked to convert 12 km to m where km stands for kilometer and m stands for meter.

In metric conversions, kilo means 1000.

So, 1 km = 1000 m

It means,  we multiply the given km by 1000 to get the answer in m as:

[tex]12km(\frac{1000m}{1km})[/tex]

= 12000 m

Hence, 12 km = 12000 m.
