To find the area of each garden, divide the total area (3.9 mi^2) by the number of gardens (1.3 x 10^3):
Area of each garden = 3.9 mi^2 / 1.3 x 10^3 = 2.999... x 10^-3 mi^2
The answer in scientific notation is 2.999... x 10^-3 mi^2.
A field of 3.9 mi
is being subdivided into 1.3 x 103 family
gardens. How many square miles will there be in each garden?
