The conversion factor from kilometers to millimeters is 1000000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000000 millimeters:

1 km = 1000000 mm

To convert 48.9 kilometers into millimeters we have to multiply 48.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to millimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km → 1000000 mm

48.9 km → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 48.9 km × 1000000 mm

L_(mm) = 48900000 mm

The final result is:

48.9 km → 48900000 mm

We conclude that 48.9 kilometers is equivalent to 48900000 millimeters:
