What is 7.8 × 105 m/h in kilometers per day? A. 3.24 × 1010 km/day B. 3.24 × 108 km/day C. 1.872 × 106 km/day D. 1.872 × 104 km/day
please explane how you got the answer too
will become fan
Is that meters/hour into km/day?
yes
are you still there
How many hours in a day? How many meters in a kilometer?
24 1000 i think b am i corect
are you still there
\[\frac{7.8\times10^5\text{ m}}{1\text{ hr}}\times\frac{24\text{ hr}}{1\text{ day}}\times\frac{1\text{ km}}{1000\text{ m}}\] In terms of scientific notation: \[\frac{7.8\times10^5\text{ m}}{1\text{ hr}}\times\frac{2.4\times10^1\text{ hr}}{1\text{ day}}\times\frac{1\text{ km}}{1\times10^3\text{ m}}\] The units will cancel out nicely: \[\frac{7.8\times10^5}{1}\times\frac{2.4\times10^1}{1\text{ day}}\times\frac{1\text{ km}}{10^3}\] Reduce the powers of 10: \[(7.8\times2.4)\times10^3\frac{\text{km}}{\text{day}}\]
And you have \[7.8\times2.4=18.72=1.872\times10^1\] so you have \[(1.872\times10^1)\times10^3\frac{\text{km}}{\text{day}}=1.872\times10^4\frac{\text{km}}{\text{day}}\]
Make sense?
your answer is not an option though
