The human body contains tiny amounts of copper.
The exact amount of copper is 2.3 x 10* for a person
weighing 150 pounds. How much copper is in the
body of a 150 pound person? Write in standard form.

Answer 1

We conclude that the copper in the body of a 150 pound person in standard form is 0.00023 lb.

How much copper is in the body of a 150 pound person?

We know that for a person of 150 pounds, the exact amount of copper in scientific notation is:

2.3*10^(-4) lb

Now we just need to expand that, remember that a negative exponent means that we need to move the decimal point to the left, because the exponent is 4, we move the decimal point 4 times to the left, then we get:

2.3*10^(-4) lb = 0.00023 lb

Then we conclude that the copper in the body of a 150 pound person in standard form is 0.00023 lb.
