A rectangular park has an area of 1.36 × 10^8 ft^2. The length of the park is 1.6 × 10^4 ft. Divide the area by the length to find the width of the park. (1 point)
8.5 × 10^5 ft.
8.5 × 10 2^ft.
8.5 × 10^3 ft.
8.5 × 10^4 ft
To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area by the length.
Area = 1.36 × 10^8 ft^2
Length = 1.6 × 10^4 ft
Width = Area / Length
Width = 1.36 × 10^8 ft^2 / 1.6 × 10^4 ft
To divide the numbers in scientific notation, subtract the exponents:
Width = 1.36 / 1.6 × 10^(8-4) ft
Width = 0.85 × 10^4 ft
In standard form, this is:
Width = 8.5 × 10^3 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 × 10^3 ft.
To find the width of the park, divide the area by the length.
Area = Length × Width
Width = Area / Length
Given:
Area = 1.36 × 10^8 ft^2
Length = 1.6 × 10^4 ft
Width = (1.36 × 10^8 ft^2) / (1.6 × 10^4 ft)
Now, we need to perform the division and simplify the expression:
Width = 8.5 × 10^3 ft.
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 × 10^3 ft.
To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area of the park by its length.
First, let's write the given values in scientific notation to make calculations easier.
The area of the park is 1.36 × 10^8 ft^2.
The length of the park is 1.6 × 10^4 ft.
To divide these numbers, we need to perform the following calculation:
(1.36 × 10^8 ft^2) / (1.6 × 10^4 ft)
Now, when dividing numbers in scientific notation, we divide the values in front of the powers of 10 and subtract the powers of 10.
(1.36 / 1.6) × (10^8 / 10^4) ft^2
1.36 / 1.6 equals 0.85, and 10^8 / 10^4 equals 10^4. So, we have:
0.85 × 10^4 ft^2
Converting this into scientific notation, we get:
8.5 × 10^3 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 × 10^3 ft.
