Question

Write the following numbers used in these statements in scientific notation. (Note: Some of these numbers have been rounded.)

One cubic inch is 0.0000214 cubic yard.

Answer 1

So 0.0000214 can be written as
`2.14* 10^(-9)cubic\ yard`

Explanation:

We have given one cubic inch = 0.0000214 cubic yard

We have to convert this into scientific notation

We know that 0.0000214 can be written as
`(214)/(10000000)`

We know that
`(1)/(10)` can be written as
`10^(-1)`

So
`(1)/(10000000)` can be written as
`10^(-7)`

So
`(214)/(10000000)` can be written as
`214* 10^(-7)=2.14* 10^(-9)cubic\ yard`
