Ali’s farmhouse has a height of 2.307×108 meters. Convert the height to centimeters. Express your answer in scientific notation to the exact decimal place.
Note: 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
To convert the height from meters to centimeters, we can use the conversion factor of 1 meter = 100 centimeters.
Given that the height of Ali's farmhouse is 2.307×10^8 meters, we can multiply this value by the conversion factor to obtain the height in centimeters.
(2.307×10^8 meters) * (100 centimeters/1 meter)
Calculating this expression gives us the height in centimeters:
= 2.307×10^8 * 100
= 2.307×10^10
Expressing the final answer in scientific notation to the exact decimal place, we have:
2.307×10^10 centimeters.
To convert the height from meters to centimeters, you need to multiply the number of meters by the conversion factor, which is 100.
The given height of Ali's farmhouse is 2.307 × 10^8 meters. To convert it to centimeters, you multiply by 100:
2.307 × 10^8 meters × 100 centimeters/meter
Now, multiply the values:
= (2.307 × 100) × (10^8 × 1) centimeters
Simplify to get the final answer:
= 230.7 × 10^8 centimeters
In scientific notation, the decimal point should be after the first non-zero digit, so the answer becomes:
2.307 × 10^9 centimeters
