Convert 3.875 x 10 to the power of 9 meters to kilometers. Express the answer to the exact decimal place. Note: 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters

Answer 1

To convert meters to kilometers, you can divide the number of meters by 1,000.

Given the value:

\[ 3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \]

To convert to kilometers, you perform the calculation:

\[ \frac{3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters}}{1000} = 3.875 \times 10^9 \div 10^3 = 3.875 \times 10^{9-3} = 3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]

Thus, the conversion of \( 3.875 \times 10^9 \) meters to kilometers is:

\[ \text{Answer: } 3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]
