A large pavilion is made of 2.967 × 10⁵ bricks. There are 6.9 bricks per square foot. How many square feet is the pavilion? Write the answer in scientific notation.
To find the number of square feet in the pavilion, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Number of square feet = Total number of bricks / Number of bricks per square foot
Number of square feet = 2.967 × 10⁵ / 6.9
Number of square feet = (2.967 / 6.9) × 10⁵
Number of square feet = 0.43 × 10⁵
Since 0.43 is less than 1 and greater than -1, we can convert the decimal to scientific notation by moving the decimal point one place to the right.
Number of square feet = 4.3 × 10⁴
Therefore, the pavilion is approximately 4.3 × 10⁴ square feet.
To find the number of square feet in the pavilion, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Given:
Total number of bricks = 2.967 × 10⁵ bricks
Number of bricks per square foot = 6.9 bricks
To find the square footage, we can use the formula:
Square footage = Total number of bricks / Number of bricks per square foot
Square footage = (2.967 × 10⁵ bricks) / (6.9 bricks)
Calculating this, we get:
Square footage = 4.309 × 10⁴ square feet
Therefore, the pavilion is approximately 4.309 × 10⁴ square feet in scientific notation.
To find the number of square feet in the pavilion, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the bricks per square foot. Let's do the calculation:
Number of Bricks = 2.967 × 10⁵
Bricks per Square Foot = 6.9
Square Feet = Number of Bricks / Bricks per Square Foot
Square Feet = (2.967 × 10⁵) / 6.9
To simplify, divide the numbers and subtract the exponents:
Square Feet = 4.31 × 10⁴
Therefore, the pavilion is approximately 4.31 × 10⁴ square feet.
