Question

when converting from kilometers to meters, the decimal is moved ________. a. three places to the left b. two places to the left c. three places to the right d. two places to the right. please select the best answer from the choices provided. a b c d

Explanation:

1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. When converting from a larger unit (kilometers) to a smaller unit (meters), we multiply by 1000. Multiplying by 1000 is equivalent to moving the decimal point three places to the right. For example, 2.5 kilometers = 2.5×1000 = 2500 meters, where the decimal in 2.5 moves three places to the right.

Answer:

C. three places to the right
