Answer:

2.7 × 10⁶ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Length: 2.7 × 10³ kilometers

Step 2: Convert "2.7 × 10³ kilometers" to meters

To convert a length from kilometers to meters we need the conversion factor 1 km/1000 m. We will multiply the length by the inverse of this factor so that kilometers are canceled and the final unit is meter.

2.7 × 10³ km × (1000 m/1 km) = 2.7 × 10⁶ m

2.7 × 10³ kilometers is equal to 2.7 × 10⁶ meters.
