Answer:
0.82 * 10^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we need to use scientific notation to solve, let's first evaluate the distance from the earth to the moon in scientific notation.
238,900 = 2.389 * 10^5 miles
Rocket travels at speed 2.9 * 10^3 mph
Divide distance by speed to get
(2.389 * 10^5) / (2.9 * 10^3)
Divide numbers and exponents separately.
2.389 / 2.9 = 0.82
10^5 / 10^3 = 10^2 (subtract exponents when dividing)
Combine these two values
0.82 * 10^2
