Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert km to meters

143000 km = 143,000,000m = 1.43*10^8 m

Now convert 10 billion to scientific notation1  00

10 billion = 1 * 10^10

What this means is that 1 * 10^10 meters in outer space = 1 meter for the scale model.

Now show what the ratio is for

1.43*10^8

========          Divide by the denominator

1 * 10^10

1.43 * 10^(8 - 10)

1.43 * 10 ^ - 2               meters

Answer: 0.0143m or B
