<PRE><B>Question 601314</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;To answer this, simply convert kilometers to meters:&lt;br&gt;

{{{(82km/1hr)*(1000m/1km)}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{(82*cross(km)/1hr)*(1000m/(1*cross(km)))}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{82000m/1hr}}}&lt;br&gt;

The answer is 82,000 meters.&lt;br&gt;

The type of unit conversion/cancellation seen here is very powerful, and is used in lots of scientific applications.&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!  :)&lt;br&gt;
