convert 3.875 x 10^9 meters to kilometers. Express the answer to the exact decimal place.

Answer 1

To convert meters to kilometers, you divide by 1,000 (since 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters).

Starting with \(3.875 \times 10^9\) meters:

\[ \text{Kilometers} = \frac{3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters}}{1,000} \]

This can be simplified to:

\[ \text{Kilometers} = 3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]

Thus, \(3.875 \times 10^9\) meters is equal to \(3.875 \times 10^6\) kilometers.
