convert 4.083 X 10^6 kilometers to meters express the answer to the exact decimal

Answer 1

To convert kilometers to meters, you multiply by \(1,000\) (since \(1 \text{ kilometer} = 1,000 \text{ meters}\)).

Starting with \(4.083 \times 10^6\) kilometers:

\[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \times 1,000 \text{ meters/kilometer} = 4.083 \times 10^6 \times 10^3 \text{ meters} \]

\[ = 4.083 \times 10^{6 + 3} \text{ meters} \]

\[ = 4.083 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \]

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

\[ 4,083,000,000 \text{ meters} \]
