a field of 3.9 mi^2 is being subdivided into 1.3 X 10^3 family gardens how many square miles will there be in each garden write the answer in scientific notation
To find the area of each garden, we can divide the total area of 3.9 mi^2 by the number of gardens (1.3 × 10^3).
Area of each garden = 3.9 mi^2 / (1.3 × 10^3)
To divide by 1.3 × 10^3, we can divide by 1.3 and subtract the exponent of 10^3.
Area of each garden = 3.9 mi^2 / 1.3 = 3 mi^2
Since the question asks for the answer in scientific notation, we can express 3 mi^2 as 3 × 10^0 mi^2.
