Question

The population of new york city in 2013 was about 8,406,000 people which number best appoximates the population as a single digit times a power of ten

Answer 1

Answer:

8 * 10^6

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to represent the value 8,406,000 in standard. The standard form of an expression is expressed as;

A * 10^n

A is any integer between 1 and 10

n is any integer.

Given the value 8,406,000

8,406,000.

We are going to move the decimal point at the end to first digit value. This point will be shifted 6 times to have;

8,406,000 = 8.6 * 10^6 (Note that n is positive since the value given is greater than 1)

Since we are to express as a single digit times a power of ten, the required answer will be 8 * 10^6
