Convert 0.345 kilometers to meters (m).

  • A. 3.45 m
  • B. 345 m
  • C. 345 cm
  • D. 345 m
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 0.345 km 1,000 = 345 meters. Choice A (3.45 m) is incorrect because it is the result of a mathematical error; the decimal point was misplaced. Choice C (345 cm) is incorrect as it represents centimeters, not meters. Choice D (345 m) is a duplicate of the correct answer B.
