1150 km3
B
115 km3
C
1.15 x 10-7 km3
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Start by understanding the conversion factor between cubic centimeters (cm³) and cubic kilometers (km³). There are 1,000,000,000,000 cm³ in 1 km³.
Express the given volume in scientific notation: 1.15 x 10^8 cm³.
To convert cm³ to km³, divide the volume in cm³ by the conversion factor (1 x 10^12 cm³/km³).
Set up the division: \( \frac{1.15 \times 10^8}{1 \times 10^{12}} \).
Simplify the expression by subtracting the exponents: \( 1.15 \times 10^{8 - 12} \), which results in \( 1.15 \times 10^{-4} \) km³.
