Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves converting from one unit (Kilometres) to another unit (Astronomical unit)

The relationship between both units is given as;

1 Km = 6.68459e-9 Au

Kulper belt

6.5 billion km = 6.5e9 Km

1 Km = 6.68459e-9 Au

6.5e9 Km = x

Solving for x;

x = 43.45 Au

Alpha Centauri

44 trillion km = 4.4e13

1 Km = 6.68459e-9 Au

4.4e13 km = x

Solving for x;

x = 294121.83 Au
