Mitchell measured the length of a chalkword at the public library with a sentimental ruler, he found that the length is 4.678x10^6 centimeters. What is the length in meters?

Answer 1

To convert centimeters to meters, we divide by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in a meter.

Length in meters = (4.678 x 10^6 centimeters) / 100 = 46,780 meters.
