Answer 3

To find the number of square feet, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Dividing 2.967×10^5 bricks by 6.9 bricks per square foot, we get:

(2.967×10^5) / 6.9

To simplify this expression, we can divide both numbers by 10^5:

(2.967 / 10^5) / (6.9 / 10^5)

Which becomes:

2.967 / 6.9 × 10^5 / 10^5

Simplifying further:

0.4304347826 × 10^0

Since any non-zero number multiplied by 10^0 is equal to itself, we get:

0.4304347826

Therefore, the pavilion is approximately 0.43 square feet.
Converting this to scientific notation, we write it as:

0.43 × 10^0

Answer 4

I apologize for the mistake. Let's try to solve it correctly.

To find the number of square feet, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.

Number of square feet = (Number of bricks) / (Bricks per square foot)

In this case, the number of bricks is given as 2.967×10^5 and the bricks per square foot is given as 6.9.

Number of square feet = (2.967×10^5) / 6.9

Simplifying the expression, we get:

Number of square feet = 4.3115942029×10^4

Therefore, the pavilion is approximately 4.3×10^4 square feet.
