Will someone please help me slove this problem.
A family refers to a group of two or more people related by birth, marriage,or adoption who resides together. In 2,00in Country A, the average family net worth was $460,000, and there were about 9.3 x 10 to the seventh power families. Calculate the total family net worthin Country A in 2000.
(Use scientific notation. Use the mutilpilcation symbol in the math palette as needed. Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
460000 * 9.3 * 10^7 = 4.278 * 10^13
I don't undestand the final answer.
You got some serious studying to do then
460000 = 4.6 * 10^5
multiply that by 9.3 * 10^7
and you get 42.78 * 10^12
But that's not scientific notation. We need to make it
4.278 * 10^13
You can do the rounding needed.
Okay I think I have the correct answer. Is it 42,780,000,000,000
That may be the answer, but they specifically asked you to use scientific notation.
To calculate the total family net worth in Country A in 2000, we need to multiply the average family net worth by the total number of families.
Given that the average family net worth is $460,000, and there are approximately 9.3 x 10^7 families, we can calculate the total family net worth as follows:
Total Family Net Worth = Average Family Net Worth x Total Number of Families
Total Family Net Worth = $460,000 x 9.3 x 10^7
To multiply the numbers, we multiply the whole numbers first and then multiply the powers of 10 separately.
Multiplying the whole numbers:
460,000 x 9.3 = 4,278,000
Multiplying the powers of 10:
10^7 = 10,000,000
Now, we multiply the whole numbers and the powers of 10:
4,278,000 x 10,000,000 = 42,780,000,000
Therefore, the total family net worth in Country A in 2000 is approximately $42,780,000,000.
