Question

If you traveled in space at a speed of 1000 miles per hour, how far would you travel in 7.5 x 10^5 hours? Write your answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

Basically, every zero a number has to the end, the higher the scientific notation will be. Because 1000 has three zeroes, 10^5 will go to 10^8. So, you will travel 7.5 x 10^8 miles.
