Question

The highest elevation on earth is Mount Everest in Asia. It is approximately 2.9 x 104 feet high. If a climber only made it half way up the mountain, how high did he climb? Write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

is that 2.9 x10^4

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Okay so you would divide it by 2. (2.9X10^4)/(2)= 14500. in scientific notation, you would count how many decimal places to left to get 1.5x10^4. The root is how many decimals to the left and it is 1.5 because you round 1.45 up. Hope this helps
