Vic bedroom is 1.2 x 10² square feet. Vic knows that there are 2.3 x 10⁷ particles of dust per square foot. How many particles of dust are present in our bedroom?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.76 x 10⁹

Explanation:

Particles of dust per square foot = 2.3 x 10⁷

The size of Vic's bedroom = 1.2 x 10²

Therefore, the number of particles of dust present in the bedroom is:

[tex]=2.3\times10^7\times1.2\times10^2[/tex]

We simplify our result below.

[tex]\begin{gathered} =2.3\times1.2\times10^7\times10^2 \\ =2.76\times10^{7+2} \\ =2.76\times10^9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

There are 2.76 x 10 dust particles.
