Question

The Moon is about 240,000, or x _____ 10 miles from earth

Answer 1

Explanation:

240,000 = 24 x 10^4

24 followed by 4 zeros = 24 x 104

Just make the number of zeroes be the exponent for 10

24 = 24 x 10^0

240 = 24 x 10^1

2400 = 24 x 10^2

24000 = 24 x 10^3

240,000 = 24 x 10^4 miles
