A school bus travels 3 km from a school to a museum. How many meters did the school bus travel?
0.003 m
30,000 m
300 m
3,000 m

3,000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that,

1 km = 1000m

3km = ?

3 * 1000m = 3000m

thus, the the school bus traveled 3,000m

assuming you mean addition: addition and subtraction are reverse operations.

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
