Question

The depth of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean is 10911 meters. Convertthe depth to kilometers.

Answer 1

Given: The depth of the Trench as

`Depth(m)=10911meters`

To Determine: The measure of the trench in kilometers

Solution

Step 1: State the conversion rate of meters to kilometers

`1000meters=1kilometer`

Step 2: Use the conversion rate to convert the given to kilometers

`\begin{gathered} 1000meters=1kilometer \\ 10911meters=xkilometers \\ Cross-multiply \\ 1000x=10911 \\ x=(10911)/(1000) \end{gathered}`
`x=10.911kilometers`

Hence, the depthe of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean in kilometers is 10.911kilometers
