Question

The planet Mars has an average distance from the sun of about 1.416 x 10/8 miles. Write this number in standard form.(MCC.8.EE.3) A) 0.00001416 B) 1,416 C) 14,160,000 D) 141,600,000

Answer 1

Solution:

Average Distance of Planet mars from the Sun =$1.416 \times 10^8$

Number in standard form = 141,600,000

As, $10^8=100000000$

So, Three zeroes remove three decimals, and we put five zeroes after 1,416 to get the result  141,600,000.

Option (D) 141,600,000 is true regarding expansion of the function $1.416 \times 10^8$.
