A field of 3.9 mi' is being subdivided into 1.3 x 10° family gardens. How many square miles will there be in each garden? Write the answer in scientitic notation.

Answer 1

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

The total area of the field is 3.9 mi'.

The number of gardens is 1.3 x 10°.

To divide the total area by the number of gardens, we can divide the numbers and subtract the exponents:

(3.9 mi') / (1.3 x 10°) = (3.9 / 1.3) x (10°)

Calculating the division, we get: 3.9 / 1.3 = 3.

So, there will be 3 square miles in each garden.

The answer in scientific notation is 3 x 10° square miles.
