Question

Which of the following is a quantity that could be represented by the number 2.404 x 10^6?
A. the population of Iowa
B. the diameter (in meters) of an atom
C. the thickness (in meters) of a sheet of printer paper
D. the amount of money (in US dollars) in the average checking account

Answer 1

2.404 x 10^6 is the scientific notation of 2,404,000. You just move the decimal 6 places to the right.
The population of Iowa is probably somewhere around that, so A would be your answer.
No way is the diameter of an atom 2 million meters, and no way is the thickness of a sheet of paper 2 million meters. And I highly doubt that the average person has 2 million dollars in their checking account... Hope that helped!

Answer 2

haha, I wish I had an average of 2 million dollars in my checking account! thank you so much!!!!

Answer 3
