A field of 3.9 mi^2 is being subdivided into 1.3×10^3 family gardens. How many square miles will there be in each garden? Write the answer in scientific notation.(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine the number of square miles in each garden, divide the total area of the field by the number of gardens:

\[3.9 \, \text{mi}^2 / (1.3 \times 10^3 \, \text{gardens}) = 3 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mi}^2\]

The answer is 3 x 10^-3 square miles per garden.
