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 86.65 inches?
As;
1 inches = 2.5E-5 kilometers
86.65 inches = Y kilometers
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 86.65 times 2.5E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 86.65 * 2.5E-5 / 1 = 0.00216625 kilometers
Answer is: 0.00216625 kilometers are equivalent to 86.65 inches.
