This means, 10 m = 10*.001 km

Therefore, 10 m = .01 km.

 

2. To convert 1000 metres to kilometres, you will need to multiply 1000 by .001.

This means, 1000 m = 1000*.001 km

Therefore, 1000 m = 1 km.

 

3. To convert 1575 metres to kilometres, you will need to multiply 1575 by .001.

This means, 1575 m = 1575*.001 km
