document.write( "Now how much of a kilometer would 500 meters be? If you said 1/2 you would be right. That's because 500 meters/1000 meters = 1/2 = 0.5<BR>\n" );
document.write( "How much of a kilometer would 1 meter be? Wouldn't it be 1/1000 meter? Yes.<BR>\n" );

document.write( "Of course, dividing by 1000 is the same as shifting the decimal point three places to the left.<BR>\n" );
