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.
To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area by the length.
The area is given as 1.36×10^8 ft^2 and the length is given as 1.6×10^4 ft.
So, the width can be calculated as:
Width = Area / Length
Width = (1.36×10^8 ft^2) / (1.6×10^4 ft)
To divide numbers in scientific notation, we subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator, and divide the coefficients:
Width = (1.36 / 1.6) × (10^8 / 10^4) ft
Width = 0.85 × 10^4 ft
Finally, we can simplify 0.85 × 10^4 to scientific notation:
Width = 8.5 × 10^3 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 × 10^3 ft.
