Answer 1

2,500

Answer 2

Right

Answer 3

What is 2.5 times 10^3?

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the answer, we need to determine the equivalent length of the canyon in kilometers using scientific notation.

The number given, 2.5x10^3, can be interpreted as 2.5 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 3. In scientific notation, any number greater than 1 will have a positive exponent, and any number between 0 and 1 will have a negative exponent.

Since the exponent is positive (3 in this case), we move the decimal point in 2.5 three places to the right to get the equivalent value.

So, 2.5x10^3 kilometers is equal to:

2.5 x 10^3 = 2,500 kilometers

Therefore, the correct answer is 2,500km.
