Question

Write the following numbers in decimal form. (Note: Some of these numbers have been rounded.)

A foot is 1.9 × 10^−4 mile.

Answer 1

So in decimal
`1.9* 10^(-4)mile` will be equal to 0.00019 mile

Explanation:

We have given that A foot is
`1.9* 10^(-4)mile`

We have to write this into decimal form

`10^(-4)=(1)/(10000)`

So for converting
`1.9* 10^(-4)mile` into decimal we have to divide 1.9 by 10000

So
`1.9* 10^(-4)mile` =
`(1.9)/(10000)=0.00019mile`

So in decimal
`1.9* 10^(-4)mile` will be equal to 0.00019 mile
