Answer 2

Answer:
`6*10^3` square meters.

Explanation:

Given : The soccer field at Mario's school has an area of 6,000 square meters.

Here, 6,000 can be written as
`6*1,000`

And
`1000=10*10*10=10^3` [using exponents]

Then, 6,000 can be written in the form of a whole number multiplied by a power of 10 as
`6,000=6*10^3`

Hence, Maria can show the area as
`6*10^3` square meters. .
