the distance from earth to neptune is approximately 4.3514 × 10⁹ choose...

Explanation:

Step1: Convert meters to kilometers

We know that \(1\) kilometer \( = 10^{3}\) meters. Let \(x\) be the distance in kilometers. If the distance \(d = 4.3514\times10^{12}\) meters, then using the conversion formula \(x=\frac{d}{10^{3}}\).
Substitute \(d = 4.3514\times 10^{12}\) into the formula: \(x=\frac{4.3514\times10^{12}}{10^{3}}\).
Using the rule of exponents \(\frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}}=a^{m - n}\), we have \(x = 4.3514\times10^{12-3}=4.3514\times 10^{9}\) kilometers.

Answer:

kilometers
