Question

alvin and simon raced a distance of 2.9 x 10^2 kilometers. they need to race 7 times that distance in kilometer. how far must they travel in kilometers in scientific notation

Answer 1

The distance in kilometers in scientific notation $2.03 \times 10^3 km$

Scale factors

Scale factors are values or constants multiplied with a variable

If Alvin and Simon raced a distance of $2.9 \times 10^2$ kilometers and they need to race 7 times that distance in a kilometer, the distance traveled will be:

• Distance travelled = $7(2.9 \times 10^2)$
• Distance travelled = $2.03 \times 10^3 km$

Hence the distance in kilometers in scientific notation $2.03 \times 10^3 km$
