Do you have any answer choices?

Answer 3

The question you put is kind of confusing, is that how it is wrote?

Answer 4

yeah
it says b. 68 km to millimeters and there is a table on the top that says 10^-3 and then milli and then m

Answer 5

68 kilometers would be 68000000 millimeters.

Answer 6

Is it asking you to divide it by 10^-3? I have no idea what its talking about lol

Answer 7

I dont either ... its just a concept review and there is a table on the top that has powers, prefix and abbreviations
and so im guessing the teacher wants us to convert 68 km to 10^-3 since thats the only number by milli

Answer 12

thank you soooo much!

Answer 13

What I posted at first was wrong, don't do that lol. I made a mistake.

Answer 14

Multiply a measurement in kilometers by 1 million to calculate its equivalent measurement in millimeters. For an example, 10 kilometers multiplied by 1,000,000 converts to 10,000,000 millimeters.

Divide a measurement in kilometers by one millionth to also convert to millimeter measurement. As an example, the same 10 kilometers divided by 0.000001 converts to 10,000,000 mm.

Convert kilometers to millimeters with a conversion program like Calculate Me. Enter the number of kilometers where directed, then click the "Convert to Millimeters" button. The conversion will appear in the lower pink highlighted area.
