Question

The South American Plate is being pulled westward at a rate of approximately 3.3 centimeters per year. How many kilometers west has it moved in the last 100 million years?

Answer 1

The answer is 3,300km

100,000,000 x 3.3=330,000,000cm

100,000cm-1km

330,000,000 divide by 100,000 = 3,300km

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

100,000,000 x 3.3=330,000,000cm

100,000cm in 1km

330,000,000 divide by 100,000 = 3,300km

The answer is 3,300km
