Answers
GPT 3.5
To find the area of each lot, we divide the total area of 3.2 square miles by the number of lots, 1.6 x 10^3.
3.2 square miles / 1.6 x 10^3 lots
To divide by 1.6 x 10^3, we divide by 1.6 and subtract 3 from the exponent.
3.2 / 1.6 = 2
10^3 / 10^3 = 1
Therefore, each lot will be 2 square miles in size.
In scientific notation, this can be written as 2 x 10^0.
Therefore, each lot will be 2 x 10^0 square miles in size in scientific notation.
