To express the average weight of the element and the average weight of a cat in scientific notation, we can represent the information you've provided as follows:
-
Average weight of the element:
\( 1.15 \times 10^4 \) pounds -
Average weight of a cat:
\( 1.4 \times 10^1 \) pounds
When written in scientific notation, both values are appropriately expressed in significant figures.
So, the average weight of an element is \( 1.15 \times 10^4 \) pounds, and the average weight of a cat is \( 1.4 \times 10^1 \) pounds.
