the decimal is moved to right three times.
When converting kilometers to meters the decimal is moved were?
When you calculate how many metres are in a certain number of kilometres, you multiply - thus moving the decimal point to the right. For example: 3.8873 kilometres is equal to 3.8873 x 1000 = 3887.3 metres.

How many cm in a kilometer?
Use... Kilo Hecta Deka Base (grams, liters, meters) Deci Centi Milli When you are converting you start at which ever unit you are converting from and then find what unit you are converting to. Count how many spaces between that starting from the unit you are converting from. If you moved left, move the decimal in your number left how many times you moved. Do the same if you moved right. It's kind if confusing
Rules of converting numbers to scientific notation?
In converting numbers into scientific notation, first you should move the decimal point such that there would be one significant figure to the left of the decimal point. Examples: 299792458 -> 2.99792458 0.0000000000667428 -> 6.67428 Then, count the number of times you moved the decimal point. Note the direction of movement. Examples: 299792458 -> 2.99792458 (8 digits to the left) 0.0000000000667428 -> 6.67428 (11 digits to the right) Lastly, express the number as a product of the modulus (the number with the decimal point moved) and a power of ten. Examples: 299792458 -> 2.99792458 x 108 (If the decimal point was moved to the left, the power is positive) 0.0000000000667428 -> 6.67428 x 10-11 (If the decimal point was moved to the right, the power is negative)
12 cm converted to m?
Since there are 100 cm in 1 m, you must divide 12 by 100. This gives you 12/100, which can be reduced to 3/25, or 0.12 in decimal form. Whenever you are converting in metric units, you only have to move the decimal based on the different measurements. In this case, a meter is 100 centimeters, so the decimal is moved two places over. Which direction you move it depends on which way you are converting. Converting from a smaller size to a bigger one requires you to move the decimal to the left, and converting from a larger size to a smaller one requires you to move the decimal to the right, adding zeroes as necessary.
What is 512.715 moved two decimal points?
The answer will depend on the direction in which the decimal point is moved!
To change from centimeters to meters how do you move the decimal?

How long would it take to get 3500 kilometers if you moved 3.5 centimeters in a year?
It would take 1 billion years to travel 3500 kilometers if you were moving at a rate of 3.5 centimeters per year. This is found by converting the kilometers to centimeters to match the speed you're traveling.
How many meters in 78 millimeters?
78 millimeters = 0.078 meters. (we have moved the decimal three places to the right) 1 millimeter equals 1/1000 meter. So 78 millimeters is 78/1000 or 0.078 meters.
Why do you have to move the decimal over?
When you multiply or divide a number by 10, the decimal place is moved to the right or the left. Ie. 2.0 x 10 = 20.0 ( The decimal point was moved to the right for multiplication). Ie. 20.0 / 10 = 2.0 ( The decimal point was moved to the left for division).
