Answer 1

Answer: $6\times10^3$ square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The soccer field at Mario's school has an area of 6,000 square meters.

Here, 6,000 can be written as $6\times1,000$

And $1000=10\times10\times10=10^3$   [using exponents]

Then, 6,000 can be written in the form of a whole number multiplied by a power of 10 as $6,000=6\times10^3$

Hence, Maria can show the area as $6\times10^3$ square meters. .

Answer 2

6,000 = 6 x 10^3 square meters.
6,000 = 60 x 10^2 square meters
6,000 = 600 x 10^1 square meters.
