Question

On Peter's summer vacation, he kayaked 1.0 × 106 meters down the Mississippi River. He paddled at a rate of 6.0 × 103 meters per hour. How many hours did he paddle on the river to complete his trip? Round your answer to the nearest 10.

Answer 1

I did?

Answer 2

Well, distance is equal to rate times time.
So just plug in, I suppose ^.^

Answer 3

Peter kayaked 1.0 x 10^6 meters at a rate of 6.0 x 10^3 meters per hour. That's the scientific expression.

Answer 4

The number of hours Peter paddled is
\[\frac{ 1\times 10^6 }{ 6 \times 10^3 }\]=\[\frac{ 10 \times 10^5 }{ 6 \times 10^3 }=(\frac{ 10 }{ 6 }) \times 10^2=(\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }) \times 10^2 = 1.7 \times 10^2 = 170\]
