Question

12/18 final exam
possible points: 3.57
determine the number meters in 0.79 kilometers.
meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion factor

We know that \(1\) kilometer (\(km\)) is equal to \(1000\) meters (\(m\)), so the conversion factor is \(1\ km = 1000\ m\).

Step2: Convert kilometers to meters

To convert \(0.79\) kilometers to meters, we multiply the number of kilometers by the conversion factor. So we calculate \(0.79\times1000\). When we multiply a decimal by \(1000\), we move the decimal point three places to the right. So \(0.79\times1000 = 790\).

Answer:

\(790\)
