Question

Tracy drove 1.123 miles to her new job location. What is the actual distance written in scientificnotation. Need help anybody

Answer 1

we have

1,123 miles

rewrite

1,123=1,123(1,000/1,000)=1.123(1,000)=1.123 x 10^3 miles

Remember that

1,000/1,000=1

therefore

1,123 miles=1.123 x 10^3 miles
