A field of 3.9 mi^2 is being subdivided into 1.3 X 10^3 family Gardens. How many square miles will there be in each garden? Write the answer in scientific notation.
To find the number of square miles in each garden, we need to divide the total area by the number of gardens:
Area per garden = Total area / Number of gardens
Area per garden = 3.9 mi^2 / (1.3 x 10^3) gardens
We can simplify the denominator by converting it to scientific notation:
1.3 x 10^3 = 1.3 x 10^(3-3) = 1.3 x 10^0 = 1
Now we can divide the total area by the number of gardens:
Area per garden = 3.9 mi^2 / 1 garden
Area per garden = 3.9 mi^2
Therefore, there will be 3.9 square miles in each garden. Written in scientific notation, this is 3.9 x 10^0 mi^2.
To determine the size of each garden, we need to divide the total area of the field by the number of gardens.
Given that the field has an area of 3.9 mi^2 and there are 1.3 × 10^3 gardens, the calculation would be as follows:
Area of each garden = Total area of the field / Number of gardens
Area of each garden = 3.9 mi^2 / 1.3 × 10^3 gardens
To divide these numbers, we can divide the numerator (3.9) by the denominator (1.3) and then subtract the exponents in the denominator (10^3).
3.9 / 1.3 = 3
10^0 (numerator exponent) / 10^3 (denominator exponent) = 10^(-3)
Therefore, the size of each garden is 3 mi^2, written in scientific notation as 3 × 10^(-3) mi^2.
To find the number of square miles in each garden, we need to divide the total area of the field by the number of family gardens.
1. First, let's convert 3.9 mi^2 to scientific notation.
3.9 mi^2 = 3.9 x 10^0 mi^2 (since any non-zero number multiplied by 10^0 is itself)
2. Next, we divide the total area of the field by the number of family gardens.
(3.9 x 10^0 mi^2) / (1.3 x 10^3 family gardens)
To divide these two numbers, we can subtract the exponents:
10^0 / 10^3 = 10^(0 - 3) = 10^(-3)
And divide the two decimal numbers:
3.9 / 1.3 = 3
Therefore, each garden will have an area of 3 x 10^(-3) square miles.
