Convert 4.083×106

Question

kilometers to meters. Express the answer to the exact decimal place.

Note: 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters.

Answer 1

To convert kilometers to meters, you multiply the number of kilometers by 1,000 (since 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters).

Given: \[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]

Now, convert to meters: \[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \times 1,000 \text{ meters/kilometer} = 4.083 \times 10^6 \times 10^3 \text{ meters} \] \[ = 4.083 \times 10^{6+3} \text{ meters} \] \[ = 4.083 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \]

Thus, \( 4.083 \times 10^6 \) kilometers is equal to \( 4.083 \times 10^9 \) meters.
