To fill in the missing part of the equation, we start by understanding the conversion from centimeters to kilometers.
1 kilometer (km) is equal to 100,000 centimeters (cm).
Given the value:
[tex]\[ -1.4 \times 10^5 \text{ cm} \][/tex]
To convert this value from centimeters to kilometers, we need to divide by 100,000 cm/km (or [tex]\( 1 \times 10^5 \)[/tex] cm/km):
[tex]\[ \left( -1.4 \times 10^5 \text{ cm} \right) \cdot \left( \frac{1 \text{ km}}{1 \times 10^5 \text{ cm}} \right) = -1.4 \text{ km} \][/tex]
The missing part of the equation is thus:
[tex]\[ \frac{1 \text{ km}}{1 \times 10^5 \text{ cm}} \][/tex]
So, the complete equation becomes:
[tex]\[ \left( -1.4 \times 10^5 \text{ cm} \right) \cdot \left( \frac{1 \text{ km}}{1 \times 10^5 \text{ cm}} \right) = -1.4 \text{ km} \][/tex]
