To convert kilometers to decimeters, we need to remember the relationship between the two units. Specifically, 1 kilometer is equal to 10,000 decimeters.
Given:
- The value we need to convert: 32 kilometers.
Let's proceed with the step-by-step conversion.
1. Write down the given value in kilometers:
[tex]\[
32 \text{ kilometers}
\][/tex]
2. Recall the conversion factor between kilometers and decimeters:
[tex]\[
1 \text{ kilometer} = 10,000 \text{ decimeters}
\][/tex]
3. Multiply the value in kilometers by the conversion factor to convert it to decimeters:
[tex]\[
32 \text{ kilometers} \times 10,000 \text{ decimeters per kilometer}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
32 \times 10,000 = 320,000
\][/tex]
Thus, 32 kilometers is equal to 320,000 decimeters.
So, the answer is:
[tex]\[
32 \text{ kilometers} = 320,000 \text{ decimeters}
\][/tex]
