Answer 1

To convert meters to kilometers, you can divide the number of meters by 1,000 (since 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters).

Given:

\[ 3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \]

To convert to kilometers:

\[ \frac{3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters}}{1,000} = 3.875 \times 10^9 \div 10^3 = 3.875 \times 10^{9-3} = 3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]

So, the exact conversion of \(3.875 \times 10^9\) meters to kilometers is:

\[ \boxed{3.875 \times 10^6} \text{ kilometers} \]
