Inch (abbreviation: in): is a unit of length in the (British) imperial and United States customary systems of measurement now formally equal to 1/36 yard but usually taken as 1/12 of a foot.
Kilometer (abbreviation: km): is a unit of length in the SI metric system, equal to one thousand metres (kilo- being the prefix for 1000). It is now the measurement unit used officially for expressing distances between geographical places on land in most of the world countries.
How to Convert Inches to Kilometers
Example: How many kilometers are equivalent to 24 inches?
As;
1 inches = 2.5E-5 kilometers
24 inches = Y kilometers
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 24 times 2.5E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 24 * 2.5E-5 / 1 = 0.0006 kilometers
Answer is: 0.0006 kilometers are equivalent to 24 inches.
