Convert 3.875 x 10^9 meters to kilometers express the answer to the exact decimal place. 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters

Answer 1

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

Starting with the value:

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

we convert it to kilometers:

\[ \frac{3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters}}{1,000} = 3.875 \times 10^9 \div 10^3 = 3.875 \times 10^{9-3} = 3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]

So,

\[ 3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} = 3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]

The final answer is:

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