Question

A certain type of bug can jump 3.5 X 10 times the length of its body. If one of thesebugs is 8 x 10-meters long, how far can it jump? Write your answer in both scientificnotation and in standard form. .

Answer 1

Answer:

The bug can jump;

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Scientific notation }=2.8\times10^3\text{ meters} \\ \text{ Standard notation}=2800\text{ meters} \end{gathered}$

Explanation:

Given;

Length of bug = 8 x 10 meters

And the bug can jump 3.5 X 10 times the length of its body.

The distance it can jump is;

$\begin{gathered} L=8\times10\times3.5\times10 \\ L=28\times100 \\ L=2.8\times10^{3^{}}\text{ meters} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the bug can jump;

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Scientific notation }=2.8\times10^3\text{ meters} \\ \text{ Standard notation}=2800\text{ meters} \end{gathered}$
