Question

How many grams are equal to413 kg?[ ? ] × 100 ggGive your answer in scientific notation.Remember that the coefficient should bebetween 1 and 10!Enter

Answer 1

Remember that 1 kg (kilograms) equals 1000 g (grams). So doing a rule of three:

And the calculation would be:

`413\text{ kg}\cdot\frac{1000\text{ g}}{1\text{ kg}}=413000\text{ g.}`

But, in this case, we have to give the answer in scientific notation with three significant figures (4.13 x 10 ^?) After the four number, we have 5 numbers that complete the entire number, so in scientific notation, the answer would be:

`4.13\cdot10^5g\text{.}`

The coefficient of scientific notation is 5 (4.13 x 10^5 g).
