"Using the Metric System
A convenient feature of the metric system is its use of decimal arithmetic. The British system is very awkward to use because of the weird numbers involved in conversions. To convert 15 inches to miles you would have to do the following calculation. 15÷12÷5280. A similar problem in the metric system would be to change 15 centimeters to kilometers. The calculation looks something like this. 15÷100÷1000. Most people, if they know their arithmetic, can do the metric conversion without a pencil and paper by mentally sliding the decimal over 5 places to the left to get 0.00015 km."
Therefore, 0.000113 km is your answer.

There are 100,000 cm to 1 km. So, you would divide the centimetres by 100,000 ,& the answer would be kilometres.
11.3 cm divided by 100,000 = .000113 km.
