To calculate the ratio of 5 meters to 20 kilometers, we need to convert the measurements to a common unit. Since both meters and kilometers are units of length, we can convert meters to kilometers or kilometers to meters.
Let’s convert 5 meters to kilometers:
1 kilometer (km) is equal to 1000 meters (m), so we divide 5 meters by 1000 to get the equivalent value in kilometers:
5 meters / 1000 = 0.005 kilometers (km).Now we can compare 0.005 km to 20 km:
Ratio = 0.005 km / 20 km = 0.00025.Therefore, the ratio of 5 meters to 20 kilometers is 0.00025.
