Answer
Given:
Distance between the Earth and the Moon = 384000 km.
We know that 1 km = 1000 m = 103 m.
Distance in metres = 384000 x 103 m.
We can write 384000 as 384 x 1000 = 384 x 103.
Total distance = (384 x 103) x 103 m.
Using the law of exponents (am x an = am+n), we add the powers: 3+3 = 6.
Distance = 384 x 106 m.
Hence, the distance is 384 x 106 m.
