dA factory builds a new warehouse that is approximately 1.28 * 10 ^ 5 square feet. Later, they add on 1.13 X 10 ^ 3 more square feet for offices. Use scientific notation to write the total size of the new building. Write the number in scientific notation.
1.2913 * 10 ^ 2 square feet
129,130 square feet
129.13 * 10 ^ 2 square feet

The total size of the new building, in scientific notation, is 1.2913 * 10 ^ 5 square feet.
Pluto is considered to be a dwarf planet in our Solar System. Pluto is about 3.6 * 10 ^ 9 * miles from the Sun. Mercury is about 3.6 * 10 ^ 7 miles from the Sun. About how many times farther from the Sun is Pluto than Mercury?
1 * 10 ^ 15
1 * 10 ^ 0
1 * 10 ^ 2
1 * 10 ^ - 2
To find out how many times farther Pluto is from the Sun compared to Mercury, we need to divide the distance of Pluto by the distance of Mercury:
(3.6 * 10^9 miles) / (3.6 * 10^7 miles) = 10^2
Thus, Pluto is about 100 times farther from the Sun than Mercury.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1 * 10^2.
