Given: The number = 0.0069 that has to be expressed in scientific notation
Concept: When we express any number in scientific notation then we shall consider two points.
(i) If we shift the decimal point from left to right after first (non-zero) digit then we count the number of shifted place of decimal and write them in terms of the negative power of 10. For example, 0.004789 = 4.789 ×10⁻³
(ii) If we shift the decimal point from right to left after first (non-zero) digit from the left end then we count the number of shifted place and write then in terms of the positive power of 10. For example, 4789.24 = 4.78924 ×10⁺³ = 4.78924 ×10³ Now, we shall convert the given number 0.0069 in scientific notation
0.0069 = 6.9 ×10⁻³ because we have shifted the decimal from left to right for three places that is after digit 6.
Hence, the last option 6.9 ×10⁻³ will be the correct option.
Answer:
85 miles .
Explanation:
Displacement along the 110 South freeway = 260 - 150 = 110 miles
Displacement along the 110 North freeway = 150 - 175 = - 25 miles
Net displacement = 110 - 25 = 85 miles
So Joey's displacement from the 260 mile marker is 85 miles .
