Question

what is $5.8 \times 10^6$ seconds in minutes?\
\\(\circ\\) $9.67 \times 10^8$ minutes\
\\(\circ\\) $9.67 \times 10^4$ minutes\
\\(\circ\\) $3.48 \times 10^8$ minutes\
\\(\circ\\) $3.48 \times 10^4$ minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Convert seconds to minutes

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, divide the given seconds by 60:
$\frac{5.8 \times 10^6}{60}$

Step2: Calculate the numerical value

First compute $\frac{5.8}{60} \approx 0.0967$, then adjust the exponent:
$0.0967 \times 10^6 = 9.67 \times 10^4$

Answer:

9.67 × 10⁴ minutes
