Question

An orbiting meteor has a mass of 3,503,846 g. What is the mass of the meteor in kg?

Round your answer to two decimal places. There are 1000 g in one kg.

Answer 1

The mass of the meteor is 3503.85 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the mass of the meteor from grams (g) to kilograms (kg), we divide the given mass by 1000 because there are 1000 grams in one kilogram. So, the mass of the meteor in kg is 3,503,846 g / 1000 = 3503.85 kg. Rounding this to two decimal places gives a final answer of 3503.85 kg.
