Convert 4.083 x 10^6 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).

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

To convert to kilometers: \[ \frac{4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ meters}}{1000 \text{ meters/kilometer}} = 4.083 \times 10^3 \text{ kilometers} \]

Now, calculate \( 4.083 \times 10^3 \): \[ 4.083 \times 10^3 = 4083 \text{ kilometers} \]

Therefore, \( 4.083 \times 10^6 \) meters is equal to 4083 kilometers.
