Answer:

Length of whale in km = 0.028578 km

Explanation:

Given:

Length of whale = 28,578 millimeter

Find:

Length of whale in km

Computation:

We know that;

1 km = 1,000,000 mm

So,

Length of whale in km = 28,578 / 1,000,000

Length of whale in km = 0.028578 km

Answer:

The answer is 0.28578 km, and the conversion is below in the explanation.

Explanation:

28578 mm * (1 meter/1000 millimeters) * (1 kilometer/1000 meters)

The millimeter units will cancel out, then the meter units will cancel out, leaving you with 28578/1000, then divide again by 1000.  The answer is 0.028578 km.
