Question

use scientific notation practice. complete this assessment to review what youve learned. it will not count toward your grade. convert 4.083 × 10^6 kilometers to meters. express the answer to the exact decimal place. note: 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters. (1 point)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

Since 1 kilometer = 1000 meters = $1\times10^{3}$ meters.

Step2: Multiply given distance by conversion factor

$(4.083\times 10^{6})\text{ km}\times(1\times 10^{3})\text{ m/km}=(4.083\times10^{6}\times10^{3})\text{ m}$.

Step3: Use exponent - rule $a^{m}\times a^{n}=a^{m + n}$

$4.083\times10^{6}\times10^{3}=4.083\times10^{6 + 3}=4.083\times10^{9}$ m.

Answer:

$4.083\times 10^{9}$
