For this case we have the following number:
[tex] 240,000
[/tex]
What we must do is rewrite the number as the product of two numbers.
We have then:
[tex] 240,000 = (24) (10000)
[/tex]
From here, we write the number as the multiplication of a whole number and a power of base ten.
We have then:
[tex] 240,000 = (24) (10 ^ 4)
[/tex]
Where,
[tex] 24 [/tex]: whole number
[tex] 10 ^ 4 [/tex]: power of base 10
Answer:
The distance written as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten is:
[tex] (24) (10 ^ 4) [/tex]
The correct answer is:
24 × 10⁴
Explanation:
When we look at this number, we can see that it is 24 with 4 zeros after it. 4 zeros implies the number 10,000. This means this is the product of 24 and 10,000, or 24(10,000).
10,000 is 10⁴ (since it has 4 zeros). This makes our product 24 × 10⁴.
