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.(1 point)
To find the number of miles in 3.52×10^7 meters, divide the number of meters by the number of meters in a mile:
3.52×10^7 meters / (1.6×10^3 meters per mile)
This simplifies to:
2.2×10^4 miles
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, you need to divide the given distance by the conversion factor of 1.6×10^3 meters per mile.
Dividing 3.52×10^7 meters by 1.6×10^3 meters per mile, you get:
(3.52×10^7) / (1.6×10^3) = (3.52 / 1.6) × (10^7 / 10^3)
The decimal multiplication gives (3.52 / 1.6) = 2.2, and for the power of ten, the exponent subtraction gives (10^7 / 10^3) = 10^(7-3) = 10^4.
So, there are 2.2×10^4 miles in 3.52×10^7 meters.
To convert meters to miles, we can use the conversion factor of 1.6×10^3 meters per mile.
To find the number of miles in 3.52×10^7 meters, we divide 3.52×10^7 by 1.6×10^3:
(3.52×10^7) / (1.6×10^3) = 2.2×10^4
Therefore, there are approximately 2.2×10^4 miles in 3.52×10^7 meters.
