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

Answer 1

To find the number of square miles in each garden, we need to divide the total area by the number of gardens:

Area per garden = Total area / Number of gardens

Area per garden = 3.9 mi^2 / (1.3 x 10^3) gardens

We can simplify the denominator by converting it to scientific notation:

1.3 x 10^3 = 1.3 x 10^(3-3) = 1.3 x 10^0 = 1

Now we can divide the total area by the number of gardens:

Area per garden = 3.9 mi^2 / 1 garden

Area per garden = 3.9 mi^2

Therefore, there will be 3.9 square miles in each garden. Written in scientific notation, this is 3.9 x 10^0 mi^2.
