Express the length of 5 cm in meter and kilometer.

To express the length of 5 cm in meters and kilometers, we need to convert the given length from centimeters to the other units using conversion factors.

Convert 5 cm to meters: We know that 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm). To convert centimeters to meters, divide the number of centimeters by 100.

Length in meters = 5 cm ÷ 100 = 0.05 meters.

Convert 5 cm to kilometers: We know that 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m) and 1 meter = 100 centimeters. So, 1 kilometer = 100,000 centimeters.

To convert centimeters to kilometers, divide the number of centimeters by 100,000.

Length in kilometers = 5 cm ÷ 100,000 = 0.00005 kilometers.

Final answer:
5 cm = 0.05 meters
5 cm = 0.00005 kilometers
