Question

rewrite the following statement using a number in scientific notation. my new music player has a capacity of 380 gigabytes. (recall that giga means billion.) my new music player has a capacity of bytes. (use scientific notation. use the multiplication symbol in the math palette as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the value of giga

1 gigabyte = $10^{9}$ bytes.

Step2: Calculate the capacity in bytes

380 gigabytes = $380\times10^{9}$ bytes.

Step3: Convert to scientific - notation

$380\times10^{9}=3.8\times10^{2}\times10^{9}=3.8\times10^{11}$ bytes.

Answer:

$3.8\times10^{11}$
