5.79x10^3\text{ kilometers}

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

divide the number by 1000

remember:


1000=10^3
(5790)/(1000)=5.79

Step 2

input the value of cubic ten instead of 100


\begin{gathered} 5790=5.79\cdot1000 \\ 5.79\cdot1000=5.79\cdot10^3 \end{gathered}

then, the answer is


5.79x10^3\text{ kilometers}
