There are about 1.6×10^3 meters in a mile. About how many miles are there in 3.52×10^7 meters? Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place

Answer 1

To find the number of miles in 3.52×10^7 meters, we can divide the number of meters by the number of meters in a mile:

Number of miles = (3.52×10^7 meters) / (1.6×10^3 meters/mile)

This simplifies to:

Number of miles = (3.52 / 1.6) × (10^7 / 10^3) = 2.2 × 10^4 miles

Therefore, there are approximately 2.2 × 10^4 miles in 3.52×10^7 meters.
