5. Now you want to know the distance in AU to each place where

you will be traveling. That way, you can relate each distance to our
solar system. What conversion factor will you need to multiply by to
convert kilometers to AU? (Hint: 1 AU = 149,598,000 km)

Answer:

Multiply the length value by 6.68456e-9

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves converting from one unit (kilometers) to another unit (Au)

From the question;

149,598,000 km = 1 AU

1 km = x

Cross multiplying;

1 * 1 = x * 149,598,000

1 = 149,598,000x

x = 1 / 149,598,000

x = 6.68456e-9

To convert kilometer to Au; Multiply the length value by 6.68456e-9
