To find the width of the park, divide the area by the length:
1.36x10^8 ft^2 / 1.6x10^4 ft
This can be simplified by dividing the coefficients (1.36 / 1.6) and subtracting the exponents (8 - 4):
0.85x10^4 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5x10^3 ft.
The correct response is: 8.5×10^3 ft.
To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area by the length.
Area of the park = 1.36×10^8 ft^2
Length of the park = 1.6×10^4 ft
Width = Area / Length
Width = (1.36×10^8 ft^2) / (1.6×10^4 ft)
Simplifying the expression, we divide the coefficients (1.36 / 1.6) and subtract the exponents (10^8 - 10^4).
Width = 8.5×10^4 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5×10^4 ft.
To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area of the park by its length.
Given:
Area of the park = 1.36 × 10^8 ft^2
Length of the park = 1.6 × 10^4 ft
To calculate the width, we divide the area by the length:
Width = Area / Length
Plugging in the given values:
Width = (1.36 × 10^8 ft^2) / (1.6 × 10^4 ft)
To divide numbers in scientific notation, we need to divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
Width = 1.36 / 1.6 × 10^8 / 10^4 ft
Simplifying the coefficients:
Width = 0.85 × 10^8 / 10^4 ft
When dividing powers of 10, we subtract the exponents:
Width = 0.85 × 10^(8-4) ft
Simplifying the exponents:
Width = 0.85 × 10^4 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 × 10^3 ft.
