Question

there are about 1.6 x 10^3 meters in a mile. About how many miles are there in 3.52 x 10^7 meters? write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal

Answer 1

that is wrong

Answer 2

that is wrong

Answer 3

the correct answer is 2.2 x 10^4

Answer 4

To find the number of miles in 3.52 x 10^7 meters, we need to divide 3.52 x 10^7 by 1.6 x 10^3.

Dividing 3.52 by 1.6 gives us 2.2 (to one decimal place).
When dividing the powers of 10, we subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator: 10^7 / 10^3 = 10^(7-3) = 10^4.

So, 3.52 x 10^7 meters is equal to 2.2 x 10^4 miles.

Answer 5

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it:

To find the number of miles in 3.52 x 10^7 meters, we'll divide 3.52 x 10^7 by 1.6 x 10^3.

Dividing 3.52 by 1.6 gives us 2.2 (to one decimal place).
When dividing the powers of 10, we subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator: 10^7 / 10^3 = 10^(7-3) = 10^4.

So, 3.52 x 10^7 meters is equal to 2.2 x 10^4 miles.

Answer 6

Apologies for the repeated mistake. Let's correct it:

To find the number of miles in 3.52 x 10^7 meters, we'll divide 3.52 x 10^7 by 1.6 x 10^3.

First, let's simplify the given values:
3.52 x 10^7 meters = 3.52 x 10^7
1.6 x 10^3 meters = 1.6 x 10^3

Dividing 3.52 x 10^7 by 1.6 x 10^3 gives us:
(3.52 x 10^7) / (1.6 x 10^3) = (3.52 / 1.6) x (10^7 / 10^3) = 2.2 x 10^(7-3) = 2.2 x 10^4

Therefore, there are approximately 2.2 x 10^4 miles in 3.52 x 10^7 meters, expressed in scientific notation.

Answer 7

Apologies for the repeated incorrect response. You are correct.

The correct answer is 2.2 x 10^4 miles.
