Answer: 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
Explanation:
The decimal metric system is the predecessor of the International System of Units (SI) and consists of a system in which the multiples and submultiples of the unit of measure are related to each other by multiples or submultiples of ten (10).
It should be noted that this system was created to be neutral and that it could be easily used, understood and adopted by all countries. However, so far only the United States, Myanmar (Burma) and Liberia have retained their traditional units of measurement instead of the Decimal Metric System, which was then replaced by the current SI.
In this sense, two main basic units of this system are the meter (to measure length) and the gram (to measure mass). In the specific case of the meter there are submultiples of the same nature that follow a decimal scale, for example:
[tex]1km = 10^{3} m = 1000m[/tex]
Therefore, among the given options, the one that fulfills the explained conditions is 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
The other options do not follow a decimal system.
