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
To find out how many miles there are in 3.52×10^7 meters, we can divide 3.52×10^7 by 1.6×10^3:
(3.52×10^7) / (1.6×10^3)
This simplifies to:
2.2×10^4
Therefore, there are approximately 2.2×10^4 miles in 3.52×10^7 meters.
To find the number of miles in 3.52×10^7 meters, divide the given distance by the conversion factor:
Number of miles = (3.52×10^7 meters) / (1.6×10^3 meters/mile)
Now, simplify the expression:
Number of miles = (3.52/1.6) × (10^7 / 10^3) miles
Number of miles = 2.2 × 10^4 miles
Therefore, there are approximately 2.2×10^4 miles in 3.52×10^7 meters.
To find out how many miles are in 3.52×10^7 meters, we need to convert the given distance from meters to miles.
We know that there are 1.6×10^3 meters in a mile. So, we can set up a conversion factor to convert meters to miles:
1 mile = 1.6×10^3 meters
To convert 3.52×10^7 meters to miles, we can use the conversion factor as follows:
(3.52×10^7 meters) × (1 mile / 1.6×10^3 meters)
Now, let's simplify the expression:
(3.52/1.6) × (10^7/10^3) miles
3.52/1.6 = 2.2
10^7/10^3 = 10^(7-3) = 10^4
Now we have:
2.2 × 10^4 miles
So, there are approximately 2.2×10^4 miles in 3.52×10^7 meters.
