Question

Convert 2435 m to km and express the result as mixed fraction.

Answer 1

We have,

2435 m = `2435/1000` km  ...[ ∵ 1 km = 1000 m]

= 2.435 km

Firstly, convert the fraction `2435/1000` into the simplest form, for this dividing the numerator and denominator by 5, we get

`(2435 ÷ 5)/(1000 ÷ 5)` km = `487/200` km

i.e., `2 87/200` km

          2
`200")"overline487(`
    – 400 
         87
