Question

The planet Mars has an average distance from the sun of about 1.416 x 10/8 miles. Write this number in standard form.(MCC.8.EE.3) A) 0.00001416 B) 1,416 C) 14,160,000 D) 141,600,000

Answer 1

Average Distance of Planet mars from the Sun =
`1.416 * 10^8`

Number in standard form = 141,600,000

As,
`10^8=100000000`

So, Three zeroes remove three decimals, and we put five zeroes after 1,416 to get the result 141,600,000.

Option (D) 141,600,000 is true regarding expansion of the function
`1.416 * 10^8`.
