The distance from Earth to the Moon is approximately 240,000 .What is this distance in meters?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

240,000 what? miles? jumps?

If miles.
There are 5,280 feet in a mile.
There are There are 12 inches in a foot.
There are 2.54 cm in an inch.
There are 100 cm in a meter.

To convert the distance from miles to meters, we can use the conversion factor 1 mile = 1609.34 meters.

240,000 miles * 1609.34 meters/mile = 386,206,400 meters

Therefore, the distance from Earth to the Moon is approximately 386,206,400 meters.

To convert the distance from Earth to the Moon from kilometers to meters, you can use the conversion factor 1 kilometer = 1000 meters.

Starting with the given distance of 240,000 kilometers, you can multiply it by the conversion factor to get the distance in meters:

240,000 kilometers * (1000 meters / 1 kilometer) = 240,000,000 meters.

Therefore, the distance from Earth to the Moon is approximately 240,000,000 meters.
