Question

One acre is equal to 4800 square yards. How many square yards, expressed in scientific notation, are there in 500 acres?

Answer 1

2.4x10^6 is the right answer!!!!

Answer 2

2.4 x 10^6

Explanation:

Scientific notation is just the number as a one digit number with a decimal multiplied by 10 to the power of a number which allows the trailing 0s.

For example,

2.4 times 10 ^1 = 24

2.4 times 10 ^2 = 240

2.4 times 10 ^3 = 2400

2.4 times 10 ^4 = 24000

2.4 times 10 ^5 = 240000

2.4 times 10 ^6 = 2400000

Hope this helps!
