convert 4.083 x 10^6 meters to kilometers. Express the answer to the exact decimal place.

Answer 1

To convert meters to kilometers, you divide the number of meters by 1,000 (since 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters).

Given \( 4.083 \times 10^6 \) meters:

\[ \frac{4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ meters}}{1000} = 4.083 \times 10^3 \text{ kilometers} \]

Now, calculate \( 4.083 \times 10^3 \):

\[ 4.083 \times 10^3 = 4083 \]

Therefore, \( 4.083 \times 10^6 \) meters is equal to 4083 kilometers.
