A large pavilion is made of 2.967 x 10^5 bricks. There are 6.9 bricks per square foot. How many square feet is the pavilion? Write the answer in scientific notation. (1 point)
0.43 x 10^4
O 4.3 x 10^5
4.3 x 10^4
2.33 x 10^5
To find the number of square feet, we need to divide the number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Number of bricks = 2.967 x 10^5
Number of bricks per square foot = 6.9
Number of square feet = Number of bricks / Number of bricks per square foot
= (2.967 x 10^5) / 6.9
To simplify the expression, we can rewrite the numbers in scientific notation:
(2.967 x 10^5) / (6.9 x 10^0)
= (2.967 / 6.9) x 10^5
Simplifying the numerical part of the expression, we get:
= 0.43 x 10^5
Thus, the answer is 0.43 x 10^5 in scientific notation.
Thats not one of the options
Apologies for the confusion. Let's simplify the numerical part of the expression further to match one of the given options.
0.43 x 10^5 = 4.3 x 10^(-1 + 5) = 4.3 x 10^4
Therefore, the correct answer is 4.3 x 10^4.
To find the number of square feet in the pavilion, you need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Number of bricks = 2.967 x 10^5
Bricks per square foot = 6.9
Square feet = Number of bricks / Bricks per square foot
Square feet = (2.967 x 10^5) / 6.9
In scientific notation, the answer is:
2.967 x 10^5 / 6.9 = 4.3 x 10^4
Therefore, the correct answer is:
4.3 x 10^4
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.
The total number of bricks is given as 2.967 x 10^5.
The number of bricks per square foot is given as 6.9.
So, to calculate the number of square feet, we need to divide 2.967 x 10^5 by 6.9.
Using scientific notation, we can calculate it as follows:
2.967 x 10^5 / 6.9 = (2.967/6.9) x 10^(5-0) = 0.429 x 10^5
Therefore, the number of square feet in the pavilion can be written as 0.43 x 10^4 in scientific notation. Hence, the correct answer is:
0.43 x 10^4
