Question

The moon has a circumference of about 10,920,000 meters. Give the circumference of the moon in scientific notation

Answer 1

Answer:

The circumference of the moon in scientific notation is around $1.092 * 10^{7}$ m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The moon has a circumference of about 10920000 meters. We need to express this value using scientific notation.

Scientific notation usually finds a number between 0 and 10, and this number is multiplied by 10, 100, 1000 and so on.

The number between 0 and 10 should be 1.092. Now we need to find an adequate exponent of 10.

The original value $10920000.00 = 1.092 * 10^{7}$ has the decimal part after seven places of the number 1. It means our number between 0 and 10 should be multiplied by ten seven times. it means $10^{7}$.

Finally, we can conclude that the circumference of the moon in scientific notation is around $1.092 * 10^{7}$ m.

Answer 2

Answer:

$1.092*10^{7}\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$10,920,000\ m=(1.092)*10,000,000\ m$

$10,000,000=10^{7}$

substitute

$10,920,000\ m=1.092*10^{7}\ m$
