First you have to find out how many meters are in 1 km. You can look this up or just memorize that kilo means thousand so there are 1000 m in every km

                      1 km

2890km x  ------------

                      1000m

 

Then multiply by putting the 2890km over 1.

 

2890m            1km

------------ x   -------------

       1               1000m

 

The meters units cancel and you get

2890km

--------

1000

 

You can either divide that on a calculator to get a decimal answer or you can reduce the fraction. The decimal answer is 2.89km

The improper fraction answer is 289/100 km and the mixed number answer is

2 and 89/100ths km

I am guessing you would want to go with the decimal answer in this case.
