Third, we can simplify the conversion by canceling out the kilometers (km) units: 51000m=5000m.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we know that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. We can write this as a conversion factor: 1km=1000m.

Step 2 :Second, we can set up the conversion from kilometers to meters: 5km1000m1km.

Step 3 :Third, we can simplify the conversion by canceling out the kilometers (km) units: 51000m=5000m.
