Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Using scientific notation, the correct statement is given by:

C. Corporation C owns the most land. Corporation A owns 8 times more land than corporation B.

What is scientific notation?

A number in scientific notation is given by:

$a \times 10^b$

With the base being $a \in [1, 10)$.

Considering the amounts in scientific notation, the standard amounts in acres of each corporation are given as follows:

• Corporation A: $3.2 \times 10^5 = 320000 = 320,000$.

• Corporation B: $4 \times 10^4 = 40000 = 40,000$.

• Corporation C: $4.3 \times 10^5 = 430000 = 430,000$.

Hence corporation C owns the most land. 320,000/40,000 = 8, hence Corporation A owns 8 times more land than corporation B, and statement C is correct.
