A large pavillion is made of 2.967 times 10^5 bricks. There are 6.9 bricks per square foot. How many square feet is the pavillion? Write the answer in scientific notation.
To find the number of square feet in the pavilion, we divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Number of bricks = 2.967 x 10^5
Bricks per square foot = 6.9
Square feet = (2.967 x 10^5) / 6.9
Square feet = 4.3 x 10^4
Therefore, the pavilion is 4.3 x 10^4 square feet in size.
