Chapter 1, Problem 26E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given numbers in meters are to be converted into $\text{km}$ , $\text{Mm}$ , $\text{mm}$ and $\text{cm}$ .

Concept introduction: The conversion of one ${\text{m}}^3$ into ${\text{km}}^3$ is done as,
  $\text{1}{\text{m}}^3={10}^{-9}{\text{km}}^3$

The conversion of one $\text{m}$ into $\text{Mm}$ is done as,
  $\text{1}\text{m}={10}^{-6}\text{Mm}$

The conversion of one $\text{m}$ into $\text{mm}$ is done as,
  $\text{1}\text{m}={10}^3\text{mm}$

The conversion of one $\text{m}$ into $\text{cm}$ is done as,
  $\text{1}\text{m}={10}^2\text{cm}$

To convert: The given number $\text{254,998}\text{m}$ into $\text{km}$ , $\text{Mm}$ , $\text{mm}$ and $\text{cm}$ .
