(1 point)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

Since 1 kilometer = 1000 meters = $1\times10^{3}$ meters.

Step2: Multiply given value by conversion factor

We have $4.083\times 10^{6}$ kilometers. Multiply by $1\times10^{3}$ meters/kilometer: $(4.083\times 10^{6})\times(1\times10^{3})$ meters.
Using the rule of exponents $a^{m}\times a^{n}=a^{m + n}$, we get $4.083\times10^{6 + 3}$ meters.

Step3: Calculate result

$4.083\times10^{9}$ meters.

Answer:

$4.083\times10^{9}$
