How do you express 1.65×10^4km as a multiple of 6.38x10^6 m?
1.65*10^7 m/6.38*10^6 m = 2.586
The first quantity is 2.586 times the second quantity.
Note that I had to convert both to the same dimensions before dividing. I chose meters. The ratio would be the same if chose cm or km.
Oh I see. Thank you!
To express 1.65×10^4 km as a multiple of 6.38×10^6 m, we need to convert both quantities to the same unit and then compare them.
First, let's convert 1.65×10^4 km to meters. We know that 1 km is equal to 1000 m, so:
1.65×10^4 km = 1.65×10^4 km × 1000 m/km
= 1.65×10^4 × 1000 m
= 1.65×10^4 × 10^3 m
= 1.65×10^7 m
Now we have the distance in meters, which is 1.65×10^7 m.
Next, let's compare this with 6.38×10^6 m:
1.65×10^7 m / (6.38×10^6 m)
= (1.65/ 6.38) × (10^7 / 10^6)
= 0.2583 × 10^1
= 2.583 × 10
Therefore, 1.65×10^4 km expressed as a multiple of 6.38×10^6 m is 2.583 × 10.
