   $$\begin{array}{rl}1km2& =\frac{1,000,000\cancel{m2}}{0.00064516\cancel{m2}}\times 1in2\\ & =\frac{1,000,000}{0.00064516}in2\\ & =1.5500031\times 10^{9}in2\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1in2& =\frac{0.00064516\cancel{m2}}{1,000,000\cancel{m2}}\times 1km2\\ & =\frac{0.00064516}{1,000,000}km2\\ & =6.4516\times 10^{-10}km2\end{array}$$
