A field of 3.9 mi2 is being subdivided into 1.3×103 family gardens. How many square miles will there be in each garden? Write the answer in scientific notation.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the area of each garden, we need to divide the total area of the field by the number of gardens.

Area of each garden = Total area of the field / Number of gardens

Area of each garden = 3.9 mi^2 / 1.3 x 10^3

To divide by a number in scientific notation, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

Area of each garden = 3.9 / 1.3 = 3

Since there are no units provided in the question, we can assume the units of measurement are mi^2 (square miles).

Therefore, the area of each garden will be 3 mi^2.

Written in scientific notation, the answer is 3 x 10^0 mi^2.
