The conversion factor from meters to kilometers is 0.001, which means that 1 meter is equal to 0.001 kilometers:

1 m = 0.001 km

To convert 159.9 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 159.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m → 0.001 km

159.9 m → L_(km)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in kilometers:

L_(km) = 159.9 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.1599 km

The final result is:

159.9 m → 0.1599 km

We conclude that 159.9 meters is equivalent to 0.1599 kilometers:
