Examples
1
Consider that a traditional Japanese building is 3 kens wide. Convert this width from kens to Kilometers.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 3
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to kilometers is:
Length(Kilometers) = Length(Kens) / 472.0632942
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 3 in the above formula.
Length(Kilometers) = 3 / 472.0632942
Length(Kilometers) = 0.0063550800006259
Final Answer:
Therefore, 3 ken is equal to 0.0063550800006259 km.
The length is 0.0063550800006259 km, in kilometers.
2
Consider that a Japanese temple's hall is 5 kens long. Convert this length from kens to Kilometers.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to kilometers is:
Length(Kilometers) = Length(Kens) / 472.0632942
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 5 in the above formula.
Length(Kilometers) = 5 / 472.0632942
Length(Kilometers) = 0.0105918000010432
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 ken is equal to 0.0105918000010432 km.
The length is 0.0105918000010432 km, in kilometers.

Kens
A ken is a historical unit of length used in various cultures, particularly in Asia. The length of a ken can vary depending on the region and context. In Japan, one ken is approximately equivalent to 6 feet or about 1.8288 meters.
The ken was traditionally used in architectural and construction measurements, particularly in the design of buildings and layout of spaces.
Ken measurements were utilized in historical architecture and construction practices in Asian cultures. Although not commonly used today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement standards and practices in building and design.
Kilometers
A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.
The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.
Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
