To find the number of square feet, we need to divide the number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Number of bricks = 2.967 x 10^5
Number of bricks per square foot = 6.9
Number of square feet = Number of bricks / Number of bricks per square foot
= (2.967 x 10^5) / 6.9
To simplify the expression, we can rewrite the numbers in scientific notation:
(2.967 x 10^5) / (6.9 x 10^0)
= (2.967 / 6.9) x 10^5
Simplifying the numerical part of the expression, we get:
= 0.43 x 10^5
Thus, the answer is 0.43 x 10^5 in scientific notation.
Number of bricks = 2.967 x 10^5
Number of bricks per square foot = 6.9
Number of square feet = Number of bricks / Number of bricks per square foot
= (2.967 x 10^5) / 6.9
To simplify the expression, we can rewrite the numbers in scientific notation:
(2.967 x 10^5) / (6.9 x 10^0)
= (2.967 / 6.9) x 10^5
Simplifying the numerical part of the expression, we get:
= 0.43 x 10^5
Thus, the answer is 0.43 x 10^5 in scientific notation.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's simplify the numerical part of the expression further to match one of the given options.
0.43 x 10^5 = 4.3 x 10^(-1 + 5) = 4.3 x 10^4
Therefore, the correct answer is 4.3 x 10^4.
0.43 x 10^5 = 4.3 x 10^(-1 + 5) = 4.3 x 10^4
Therefore, the correct answer is 4.3 x 10^4.
