There are about 1.6×103
meters in a mile. About how many miles are there in 3.52×107
meters? Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.(1 point)
To find the number of miles in 3.52×107 meters, we need to divide 3.52×107 by 1.6×103:
(3.52×107)/(1.6×103) = 2.2×104
Therefore, there are approximately 2.2×104 miles in 3.52×107 meters.
To find out how many miles are in 3.52×10^7 meters, we can use the conversion factor given:
1 mile = 1.6×10^3 meters
We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of miles:
1 mile / 1.6×10^3 meters = x miles / 3.52×10^7 meters
Cross-multiplying gives us:
1.6×10^3 * x = 1 * 3.52×10^7
Simplifying the equation:
1.6×10^3 * x = 3.52×10^7
Dividing both sides by 1.6×10^3:
x = (3.52×10^7) / (1.6×10^3)
Simplifying the division:
x = 2.2×10^4
Therefore, there are approximately 2.2×10^4 miles in 3.52×10^7 meters.
To find out how many miles are there in 3.52×10^7 meters, we can use the conversion factor:
1 mile = 1.6×10^3 meters
We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of miles:
1 mile / 1.6×10^3 meters = x miles / 3.52×10^7 meters
Cross-multiplying the proportion:
1 mile * 3.52×10^7 meters = 1.6×10^3 meters * x miles
Simplifying:
3.52×10^7 miles = 1.6×10^3 meters * x miles
Dividing both sides by 1.6×10^3 meters:
(3.52×10^7 miles) / (1.6×10^3 meters) = x miles
Calculating the result:
x = 3.52×10^7 / 1.6×10^3
Dividing the numbers:
x ≈ 2.2×10^4
Therefore, there are approximately 2.2×10^4 miles in 3.52×10^7 meters.
