Length Conversion Chart

Length conversion chart is used to quickly convert the units of the length. Suppose we our given the length in km and we have to convert it into m then we can directly convert the unit from km to m by directly looking at the chart.

The length conversion chart in the SI system is,

Example,

• 12 km = 12 × 1000 m = 12000 km
• 20 m = 20 × 100 cm = 2000 cm

Example,

• 12 mi = 12 × 1760 yd = 12000 yd

Length Conversion Examples

We have given some solved examples on Length Conversion for you.

Length Conversion Example 1: Convert 2000 m to km.

Solution:

We know that,

• 1000 m = 1 km

1 m = 1/1000 Km

2000 m = 2000 × 1/1000 = 2 Km

Length Conversion Example 2: Convert 20 feet to m.

Solution:

We know that,

• 1 ft = 0.3048 m

20 ft = 20 × 0.3048 = 6.096 m

Length Conversion Example 3: Convert 25 mm to cm

Solution:

We know that,

• 1 mm = 0.1 cm

25 mm = 25 × 0.1 = 2.5 cm

Length Conversion Example 4: Convert 12 inches to feet.

Solution:

We know that,

• 1 inch = 1/12 foot

12 inches = 12 × 1/12 foot

12 inches = 1 feet
