<h3>
Answer: 4.2913 * 10^8</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
4.3*10^8 = 4.3 * 10^(3+5)
4.3*10^8 = 4.3 * 10^3*10^5
4.3*10^8 = 4.3*1000*10^5
4.3*10^8 = 4300*10^5
Priscilla has 4300*10^5 strands of hair while Diego has 8.7 * 10^5 strands. Subtract the values out front: 4300-8.7 = 4291.3
Then tack on the "*10^5" portion to get 4291.3*10^5
The difference in the number of strands is 4291.3*10^5
Convert this to scientific notation to get the final answer.
4291.3*10^5 = (4291.3)*10^5
4291.3*10^5 = (4.2913 * 1000)*10^5
4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 1000*10^5
4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^3*10^5
4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^(3+5)
4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^8
Note: The number 4.2913 * 10^8 expands out to 429,130,000 which is a little over 429 million.
