According to the 2010 census data , the population of Texas was about 2.5*10^7 people. The land area of Texas is about 2.6*10^5 m^2. Divide the average number of people per square mile in 2010.

A. 0.96*10^2
B. 9.6*10^1
C. 0.96*10^35
D. 9.6*10^12
Is the answer A?

7 answers

both A and B are correct since they represent the same number 96

If the answer was supposed to be in scientific form, then B would be the correct choice, since the decimal must be after the first digit.
so its a
the answer is most likely B take it as a grain of salt.
The answer is B
reiny would be right in the connexus they said in the lesson 1< and >10 so the number would make more sense as B (it was probably made for this exact reason)
Is the full anwser B?
To find the the per of square mile you would divide so divide 2.5 and 2.6 and add the exponent of 5 and 2 and the subtract 7 -7=0=1 so the answer would be 9.6×10^1
