4. What does 1.988 on a calculator look like on your paper in scientific notation?
5. An area that is 3.2 square miles will be divided into 1.6 x 1013 lots. How big will each lot be in scientific notation?

1 answer

  1. 0.0000006709 in scientific notation:
    \( 6.709 \times 10^{-7} \)

  2. 9,085,000,000,000 in scientific notation:
    \( 9.085 \times 10^{12} \)

  3. 2.09 x 10^5 in decimal notation:
    \( 209,000 \)

  4. 1.988 in scientific notation:
    \( 1.988 \times 10^{0} \) (since \(10^0 = 1\), it remains as 1.988)

  5. Finding the size of each lot given an area of 3.2 square miles divided into \( 1.6 \times 10^{13} \) lots:
    First, we need to divide the total area by the number of lots:
    \[ \text{Size of each lot} = \frac{3.2 \text{ square miles}}{1.6 \times 10^{13}} \]
    This can be simplified as follows:
    \[ 3.2 = 3.2 \times 10^0 \Rightarrow \frac{3.2 \times 10^0}{1.6 \times 10^{13}} = \left(\frac{3.2}{1.6}\right) \times 10^{(0 - 13)} = 2.0 \times 10^{-13} \]

    Therefore, the size of each lot in scientific notation is:
    \( 2.0 \times 10^{-13} \) square miles.
