I have no idea whether those numbers are correct, and I'm not gonna bother looking them up.

But you gave us a speed and a distance, and you asked for a time.

We can just go ahead and use the formula: Time = (distance) / (speed) .

<em>IF</em> your numbers are true, then

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (3.55 x 10⁹ mi) / (1.25 x 10⁷ mi/min)

Time = (3.55 x 10⁹ / 1.25 x 10⁷) minutes

Time = 2.84 x 10² minutes

<em>Time = 284 minutes</em>

Time = 4 hours 44 minutes

Select the correct answer. Consider these three numbers written in scientific notation: 6. 5 × 103, 5. 5 × 105, and 1. 1 × 103.

Scientific notation uses expression which gives easy access of order. The greatest number is $5.5 \times 10^5$ .It is greater by smallest number by 500 times.

<h3>How to convert a number to scientific notation?</h3>

It is usually of the form $a.bc.. \times 10^k$ exponent of 10 starts)

(we have 1 ≤ |a| < 10 ) (where |a| is magnitude of a without sign)

This notation is used to get some idea of how large or small a number is in terms of power of 10.

If we have $a^b$ base and 'b' is called power or exponent and we call it "a is raised to the power b" (this statement might change from text to text slightly).
