the soccer field Marios school has an area of 6,000 square meters. how can Mario show the area as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten?
The show the area of the school field to the power of ten, Mario simply
has to count the amount of zeros in 6,000. He will of course count 3
zeros, so the answer will be 6 x 10^(3).
we have
The area of the soccer field is equal to \(6,000\ m^{3}\)
we know that
the number \(6,000\) is equal to
\(6,000=6*1,000\)
and the number \(1,000\) is equal to
\(1,000=10^{3}\)
substitutes
\(6,000=6*1,000=6*10^{3}\)
therefore
the answer is
\(6*(10^{3})\ m^{3}\)
