A field of 3.9 mi2 is being subdivided into 1.3×103 family gardens. How many square miles will there be in each garden? Write the answer in scientific notation.(1 point)
To find the area of each garden, we need to divide the total area of the field by the number of gardens.
Area of each garden = Total area of the field / Number of gardens
Area of each garden = 3.9 mi^2 / 1.3 x 10^3
To divide by a number in scientific notation, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
Area of each garden = 3.9 / 1.3 = 3
Since there are no units provided in the question, we can assume the units of measurement are mi^2 (square miles).
Therefore, the area of each garden will be 3 mi^2.
Written in scientific notation, the answer is 3 x 10^0 mi^2.
