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 divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot:
2.967×105 bricks / 6.9 bricks per square foot = 4.31×104 square feet
In scientific notation, the answer is 4.31×104 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.
Number of bricks: 2.967×10^5
Bricks per square foot: 6.9
Number of square feet = Number of bricks / Bricks per square foot
Number of square feet = (2.967×10^5) / 6.9
Now we can simplify this by expressing both numbers in scientific notation:
2.967×10^5 / 6.9 = (2.967 / 6.9) × (10^5 / 1)
= 0.4304 × 10^(5-1)
= 0.4304 × 10^4
Therefore, the pavilion is approximately 4.304×10^4 square feet.
To find out how many square feet the pavilion is, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
First, we divide the total number of bricks (2.967×10^5) by the number of bricks per square foot (6.9):
2.967×10^5 / 6.9 = 4.3×10^4
Therefore, the pavilion is approximately 4.3×10^4 square feet.
