How to Convert Kilometers to Millimeters
Example: How many millimeters are equivalent to 23.96 kilometers?
As;
1 kilometers = 1000000 millimeters
23.96 kilometers = Y millimeters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 23.96 times 1000000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 23.96 * 1000000 / 1 = 23960000 millimeters
Answer is: 23960000 millimeters are equivalent to 23.96 kilometers.
