the sun is about 93 x 10^6 miles from earth. what is this distance written as a whole number? 

Sagot :

W0lf93
This distance would be written as a whole number as 93,000,000. To get this number, you would use the first two numbers and then add 6 zeros to the end to account for the 10^6. 10^6 is equal to 10 multiplied by 10 six times with each product being multiplied by 10. This can also be displayed as 1E6. This number is then multiplied by 93 to get 93,000,000.

For this case we have the number in exponential notation:

[tex] 93 * 10 ^ 6
[/tex]

We observe that the exponent of the exponential notation is positive.

Therefore, to express the number as a whole number, we must move the comma 6 spaces to the right.

We have then:

[tex] 93 * 10 ^ 6 = 93,000,000
[/tex]

Answer:

this distance written as a whole number is:

[tex] 93 * 10 ^ 6 = 93,000,000 [/tex] miles
