Converting from Kilometer (km) to Hectometer (hm)

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 1,000 meters. It is commonly used to measure longer distances, such as highways or the distance between cities.

A hectometer (hm) is another unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to 100 meters. It is often used in land surveying or for measuring the length of fields or sports tracks.

Conversion Formulas:

• From kilometers to hectometers:

  Kilometers×10=Hectometers

• From hectometers to kilometers:

  Hectometers×0.1=Kilometers

Examples:

• 7 kilometers = 70 hectometers
• 16 kilometers = 160 hectometers

These conversion formulas can be useful in various contexts, such as when working with maps, construction projects, or any situation where length measurements need to be converted between different units.
