9) You are going on a road trip next summer! You will start in Tampa and travel to Atlanta to watch a baseball game. Next, you will hit Boston to check out some history sites. Then, you will go all the way to Los Angeles to see the Hollywood sign and Mickey at Disneyland. Finally, you will return to Tampa to go put your feet in the ocean! How many miles did you travel in all? put the answer in scientific notation
To calculate the total distance traveled, we need to find the distance between each city and sum them up.
The distance between Tampa and Atlanta is approximately 453 miles.
The distance between Atlanta and Boston is approximately 1,026 miles.
The distance between Boston and Los Angeles is approximately 2,617 miles.
The distance between Los Angeles and Tampa is approximately 2,211 miles.
Adding up these distances, we get:
453 + 1,026 + 2,617 + 2,211 = 6,307 miles.
In scientific notation, this would be written as 6.307 x 10^3 miles.
To calculate the total distance traveled, we need to find the distance between each pair of cities and add them up. Here are the distances between each city:
Tampa to Atlanta: According to Google Maps, the distance between Tampa, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia is approximately 456 miles.
Atlanta to Boston: The distance between Atlanta, Georgia and Boston, Massachusetts is approximately 1,047 miles.
Boston to Los Angeles: According to Google Maps, the distance between Boston, Massachusetts and Los Angeles, California is approximately 2,993 miles.
Los Angeles to Tampa: The distance between Los Angeles, California and Tampa, Florida is approximately 2,385 miles.
To calculate the total distance, we add up these four distances:
456 + 1,047 + 2,993 + 2,385 = 6,881 miles.
In scientific notation, this is 6.881 x 10^3 miles.
To determine the total distance traveled on this road trip, we need to calculate the distance between each pair of cities and then sum them up.
First, let's calculate the distance from Tampa to Atlanta. We can use a distance calculator or mapping service, such as Google Maps, to find the driving distance. Let's assume it is approximately 450 miles.
Next, we need to calculate the distance from Atlanta to Boston. Again, using a distance calculator or mapping service, let's assume it is approximately 1,050 miles.
The next leg of the trip is from Boston to Los Angeles. Using the same method, let's assume this distance is approximately 2,800 miles.
Finally, we need to calculate the distance from Los Angeles back to Tampa. Let's assume this distance is approximately 2,400 miles.
To find the total distance traveled, we sum up the distances:
Total distance = Tampa to Atlanta + Atlanta to Boston + Boston to Los Angeles + Los Angeles to Tampa
Total distance = 450 + 1,050 + 2,800 + 2,400
Total distance = 6,700 miles
To express this answer in scientific notation, we move the decimal point to have only one digit to the left of the decimal, and denote the power of 10 that the original number is multiplied by. In this case, the distance traveled is 6,700 miles, so it can be expressed in scientific notation as:
6.7 x 10^3 miles
