Question

What is the value of n in this equation? (2.4 × 10³) × (3 × 10^n) = 7.2 × 10⁹

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$(2.4 \times {10}^{3} ) \times (3 \times {10}^{n} ) = 7.2 \times {10}^{9} \\ \\ (2.4 \times 3 \times {10}^{3 + n} ) = 7.2 \times {10}^{9} \\ \\ 7.2 \times {10}^{3 + n} = 7.2 \times {10}^{9} \\ \\ {10}^{3 + n} = {10}^{9} \\ \\ 3 + n = 9 \\ \\ n = 9 - 3 \\ \\ n = 6$
