Determine the values of m and n when the following average distance from the Sun to the Earth is written in scientific notation: 150,000,000,000 m.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]150000000000\ m=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

A number can be written in the form of :

[tex]N=m\times 10^n[/tex]

Where

m is the real number

n is any integer

In this case, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is given,

d = 150000000000 meters

There are 10 zeroes in this number. We need to write this number in scientific notation. It is given by :

[tex]d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]

So, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is [tex]d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
