To compare the distances Jayla plans to travel in different units, we need to convert all of them to the same unit. Let's use kilometers for comparison.
-
Distance in kilometers:
- \(3 \times 10^5 , \text{m}\)
- Convert to kilometers: \[ 3 \times 10^5 , \text{m} = 3 \times 10^5 , \text{m} \div 1000 = 3 \times 10^2 , \text{km} = 300 , \text{km} \]
-
Distance in centimeters:
- \(3 \times 10^7 , \text{cm}\)
- Convert to kilometers: \[ 3 \times 10^7 , \text{cm} \div 100,000 = 3 \times 10^2 , \text{km} = 300 , \text{km} \]
-
Distance in millimeters:
- \(3 \times 10^8 , \text{mm}\)
- Convert to kilometers: \[ 3 \times 10^8 , \text{mm} \div 1,000,000 = 3 \times 10^2 , \text{km} = 300 , \text{km} \]
After performing the conversions, we find that all of the distances are equivalent to 300 kilometers.
Therefore, none of the distances use the most in terms of magnitude; they all represent the same distance.
