Kilometres are used in most parts of the world to measure large land distances. It equals about 5/8 of a mile. It is 1000 metres.
1m=1000mm
so
0.05 m = 50mm

Kilometers is a length measure used now in most countries of the world and in the scientific community. It is equal to 1000 meters. It is easy to convert from one metric measure to the next and therein lies its beauty.
A kilometer, also known as a kilometre, is about 0.63 miles.
One meter is equal to 1000 millimetres. So 0.5 meters is 500 mm and 0.05 is 50 mm which is the same as 5 centimeters BTW. Now if you want a really small linear measure consider a picometer. That is so small you cannot see it!!!

I believe kilometres is used more for measuring longer distances eg length of road etc etc. You cannot possibly say that the length of a long long road is 100000000...cm right haha.
0.05m=50mm (since 1m is 100cm which is in turn equal to 1000mm)
HOPE THAT HELPED (=

tI have to admit this sounds like the are you smarter than a 5th grader thing..
Kilometers are linear distance.. look up the metric systems to see all of the conversions they are all the same pattern.1 meter = 10 decimeters, or 100 centimeters, or 1000 millimeters so .05m =5 centimeters or 50 millimeters...

Kilometer is used in the same sense as a mile (about .7 miles) and 0.05m is 5mm. Please use Google, or better yet, Wikipedia. :-D.

Those people across the pond went us to use it . But did we not tell then what to do with there ideas in 1776 ? so how cares what they want us to use. A mile is still a mile not a kil.

what do you mean, what is km used for? do you mean what does it measure? if so, it's a unit of length...
0.05m = 50mm

kilometer is used in the metric system to measure distance.
1KM=1000m
1M=10DM=100CM=1000MM
0.05m=50mm
