Ablue whale has a length of 28,578 millimeters. what is the length of a blue whale in kilometers? show your work below by writing the conversion factors you use to solve this problem

Milli word means 1/1000 times while kilo word means 1000 times. That means a milli meter will be equal to 1/1000 meter while 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. The conversion factor would be: 1 millimeter * (1 meter/1000millimeter) / (1000 meters/1 kilometer)= 1 * 10^-6 kilometer. The conversion factor is 1 * 10^-6 kilometer/mm

Since 1 mm equal to 1 * 10^-6 kilometer, the whale length would be:28,578 millimeters * (1 * 10^-6 kilometer/mm)= 0.028578 km= 2.85 * 10^-2 km

the electromagnetic energy from the sun arrives in the form of visible and invisible light.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
