Answer 1

To convert 3.875 × 10^9 meters to kilometers, we can use the conversion factor that 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters.

1. Start by dividing the number of meters by 1,000:
\[
3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \div 1,000 \text{ meters/kilometer} = 3.875 \times 10^9 \div 10^3
\]
2. This simplifies to:
\[
3.875 \times 10^{9-3} = 3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers}
\]

Therefore, the final answer is:
\[
3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ km}
\]

So the answer in the requested format is:
(3.875) x (10^6) km
