b. 80km
c. 7.75km
d. 7589mm

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 35.25 m

b. 80,000 m

c. 7,750 m

d. 7.589

Step-by-step explanation:

For a, you are supposed to divide 3525 cm by 100, since that's 10 to the 2nd power, and meters is 2 spaces to the left on a conversion chart away from centimeters. The answer is 35.25.

For b you multiply 80 by 1000 because it is 3 spaces away from meters on a chart to the right.

For c you multiply 7.75 by 1000 still,

And for D, you divide 7589 by 1000 because it's 3 spaces to the left.

I hope this helped :)
