How to Convert Inches to Kilometers
Example: How many kilometers are equivalent to 62.89 inches?
As;
1 inches = 2.5E-5 kilometers
62.89 inches = Y kilometers
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 62.89 times 2.5E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 62.89 * 2.5E-5 / 1 = 0.00157225 kilometers
Answer is: 0.00157225 kilometers are equivalent to 62.89 inches.
