I apologize for any confusion caused by the previous answers. Here is the correct step-by-step solution:
1. To find the area of each garden, divide the total area of 3.9 mi^2 by the number of gardens, which is 1.3 × 10^3.
2. Calculate the area of each garden by performing the division: 3.9 mi^2 / (1.3 × 10^3).
3. To simplify the scientific notation, divide the numerator and denominator by 1.3, which gives: (3.9 / 1.3) × (10^3).
4. Calculate the numerator: 3.9 / 1.3 = 3.
5. Calculate the denominator: (10^3) = 1000.
6. Therefore, the area of each garden is 3 × 10^2 square miles or 300 square miles.
I hope this clears up any confusion, and I apologize again for the previous discrepancies.

You have given different answers for the same problem... This is what you said on Oct. 4th!
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.
First, we calculate the area of each garden by dividing the total area of 3.9 mi^2 by the number of gardens, 1.3 × 10^3:
Area of each garden = 3.9 mi^2 / (1.3 × 10^3) = 3.9 mi^2 / 1.3 × (10^3)
To simplify the scientific notation, we divide the numerator and denominator by 1.3:
Area of each garden = 3.9 mi^2 / 1.3 × (10^3) = (3.9 / 1.3) × (10^2)
Calculating the numerator:
3.9 / 1.3 = 3
Calculating the denominator:
(10^3) = 1000
So, the area of each garden is:
Area of each garden = 3 × (10^2)
In scientific notation, this is written as:
Area of each garden = 3 × 10^2
Therefore, there will be 3 × 10^2 square miles in each garden.
