Answer 1

Answer:

44.1 x 10^-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one grain

= 7 x 10^-5

6300kg = 7 x 10^-5 x 6300

Put 6300 in standard form

7 x 10^-5 x 6.3 x 10^3

Multiply the whole numbers and add the exponents

7 x 6.3 x 10^-5 + 3

44.1 x 10^-2

There are 44.1 x 10^-2 grains of sand in 6300kg
