lake superior is the largest of the great lakes. it covers a surface area of about 30,000 square miles. how can you show the estimated area of lake superior as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten

Respuesta :

hmm

30,000 that is 4 zeroes or 10^4
3 times 10^4
[tex]\text{Powers of 10 represents multiple zero's}[/tex] 

[tex]\text{Example -----} \ \ 5 * 1,000 = 5 * 10^3 = 5,000[/tex] 

[tex]30,000 = 3 *10^4=\text{solution}[/tex] 

[tex]10^4[/tex]  [tex]\text{represents the given zeros in 30,000}[/tex]
