Answer:
[tex]15.5[/tex] or [tex]x=1.55\times 10[/tex] kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find how many kilometers are equal to [tex]1.55\times 10^4[/tex] meters.
Recall that: [tex]1000m =1km[/tex]
We can rewrite [tex]1.55\times 10^4[/tex] as [tex]15500[/tex]
Let [tex]15500m=x\:km[/tex]
Using proportion, [tex]15500[/tex] should be more than 1km.
If more, then less divides:
[tex]\implies x=\frac{15500}{1000} km[/tex]
[tex]\implies x=15.5km[/tex]
Therefore [tex]1.55\times 10^4[/tex] meters is equal to [tex]15.5[/tex] or [tex]x=1.55\times 10[/tex] kilometers
