A field of 3.9 mi^2 is being subdivided into 1.3 x 10^3 family gardens. How many square miles will there be in each garden? Write the answer in scientific notation
To find the number of square miles in each garden, we need to divide the total area (3.9 mi^2) by the number of gardens (1.3 x 10^3).
3.9 mi^2 ÷ (1.3 x 10^3) = 3.9 ÷ 1.3 x 10^3 mi^2
Simplifying the equation, we get:
= 3.0 x 10^0 mi^2
Since anything multiplied by 10^0 is equal to itself, we can write the final answer in scientific notation as:
3.0 mi^2
To find out how many square miles there will be 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 given as 3.9 square miles (3.9 mi^2).
The number of gardens is 1.3 x 10^3 family gardens.
To divide these two values, we simply divide the total area of the field by the number of gardens:
3.9 mi^2 / (1.3 x 10^3 gardens)
When dividing by a number expressed in scientific notation, we divide the numbers before the multiplication sign and subtract the exponents:
(3.9 / 1.3) x (10^2/10^3) = 3 x 10^(-1)
So, each garden will have an area of 3 x 10^(-1) square miles.
To find the number of square miles in each garden, we need to divide the total area by the number of gardens.
1. The total area of the field is 3.9 mi^2.
2. The number of family gardens is 1.3 x 10^3.
Now we can calculate the square miles in each garden:
3.9 mi^2 / (1.3 x 10^3) = (3.9 / 1.3) x 10^(-3) = 3 x 10^(-3) = 3.0 x 10^(-3)
Therefore, there will be 3.0 x 10^(-3) square miles in each garden.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake.
To find the number of square miles in each garden, we divide the total area by the number of gardens.
Total area of the field: 3.9 mi^2
Number of family gardens: 1.3 x 10^3
Square miles in each garden:
= (Total area of the field) / (Number of family gardens)
= 3.9 mi^2 / (1.3 x 10^3)
= 3.9 / 1.3 x 10^(-3)
= 3 x 10^(-3)
Therefore, there will be 3 x 10^(-3) square miles in each garden.
