Question

the soccer field Marios school has an area of 6,000 square meters. how can Mario show the area as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten?

Answer 1

The show the area of the school field to the power of ten, Mario simply has to count the amount of zeros in 6,000. He will of course count 3 zeros, so the answer will be 6 x 10^(3).

Answer 2

we have

The area of the soccer field is equal to $6,000\ m^{3}$

we know that

the number $6,000$ is equal to

$6,000=6*1,000$

and the number $1,000$ is equal to

$1,000=10^{3}$

substitutes

$6,000=6*1,000=6*10^{3}$

therefore

the answer is

$6*(10^{3})\ m^{3}$
