The distance to the sun written in scientific notation is 9.3 × 10⁷ mi.
The length of a firefly written in scientific notation is 4 × 10⁻² inches.
The distance to the sun is 5,892,480,000,000 inches.
There are 147,312,000,000,000 fireflies would it take to reach the sun if they were put end to end.
Given that
The distance to the sun is approximately 93,000,000 mi.
Firefly is about 0.04 in. Long.
According to the question
1. The distance to the sun written in scientific notation is,
The number as the product of a number in the range 1 up to 10 and a number divisible by 10:
93,000,000 mi = 9.3 × 10,000,000 mi
10,000,000 = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10⁷
93,000,000 mi = 9.3 × 10,000,000 mi = 9.3 × 10⁷ mi
The distance to the sun written in scientific notation is 9.3 × 10⁷ mi.
2. The number is the product of a number in the range 1 up to 10 and a number divisible by 10.
0.04 in = 4 × 0.01 in
0.01 = 10⁻²
0.04 in = 4 × 0.01 in = 4 × 10⁻² inches
The length of a firefly written in scientific notation is 4 × 10⁻² inches.
3. The distance to the sun in inches is
1 mi = 63,360 in
93,000,000 mi = 93,000,000 * 63,360 in = 5,892,480,000,000 inches
The distance to the sun is 5,892,480,000,000 inches.
How many fireflies would it take to reach the sun if they were put end to end:
147,312,000,000,000
x - number of fireflies
x × 0.04 in = 5,892,480,000,000 in
x = 5,892,480,000,000 in ÷ 0.04 in
x = 147,312,000,000,000
There are 147,312,000,000,000 fireflies would it take to reach the sun if they were put end to end.
