Convert 3.875×109 meters to kilometers. Express the answer to the exact decimal place. Note:

Answer 1

To convert meters to kilometers, you divide by 1,000, since there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer.

Given: $$3.875\times {10}^9\text{ meters}$$

Now, we convert to kilometers: $$\frac{3.875\times {10}^9\text{ meters}}{1,000}=3.875\times {10}^9÷{10}^3=3.875\times {10}^{9-3}=3.875\times {10}^6\text{ kilometers}$$

Thus, $3.875\times {10}^9$ meters is equal to $3.875\times {10}^6$ kilometers.

The final answer is: $$3.875\times {10}^6\text{ kilometers}$$
