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 the pavilion covers, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Number of square feet = Number of bricks / Bricks per square foot
Number of square feet = 2.967×105 bricks / 6.9 bricks per square foot
Number of square feet = 4.309×104
The answer in scientific notation is 4.309×104 square feet.
To find the area of the pavilion in square feet, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Given:
Total number of bricks = 2.967×10^5
Number of bricks per square foot = 6.9
To find the area in square feet, we can use the formula:
Area (in square feet) = Total number of bricks / Number of bricks per square foot
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
Area (in square feet) = 2.967×10^5 / 6.9
To divide by 6.9, we can divide the numerator and denominator by 6.9:
Area (in square feet) = (2.967×10^5) / (6.9)
Calculating this value, we get:
Area (in square feet) ≈ 4.3×10^4
Therefore, the area of the pavilion is approximately 4.3×10^4 square feet, written in scientific notation.
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 in pavilion: 2.967 × 10^5
Bricks per square foot: 6.9
So, the number of square feet in the pavilion can be found by dividing the number of bricks by the bricks per square foot:
2.967 × 10^5 bricks ÷ 6.9 bricks/square foot
To write this answer in scientific notation, we will convert it to the form A × 10^B, where A is a number between 1 and 10 (non-zero) and B is an integer.
Dividing the number of bricks by the bricks per square foot, we get:
(2.967 × 10^5) ÷ 6.9
≈ 4.301 × 10^4
Therefore, the pavilion is approximately 4.301 × 10^4 square feet.
