first, fill in the blank below with the correct unit. then use scientific notation to represent the quantity in meters. a nearby mountain has a height of 4.45 (choose one) writing in scientific notation, this is meters.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Choose the unit
A reasonable unit for the height of a mountain is kilometers.
Step2: Convert to meters
Since 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, 4.45 kilometers = 4.45×1000 = 4450 meters.
Step3: Write in scientific - notation
Scientific notation is of the form (a\times10^{n}), where (1\leqslant a<10) and (n) is an integer. For 4450, we can write it as (4.45\times10^{3}) meters.
Answer:
Kilometers; (4.45\times 10^{3})
