there are about 3,000,000 students attending school, kindergarten through 12th grade, in new york. express the number of students as single-digit integer times a power of 10.

the average number of students attending a middle school in new york is 8 x 10^2. how many times greater is the overall number of k-12 students compared to the number of middle school students?

part 1: 3x10^6

part 2: 3750

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: you just take the zeros and it makes 6 than you take the 3 and times it by 10 to the power of zeros in this case it’s 6. so 3x10^6

part 2: so we just have to reverse what’s we just did so see how it 8x10^2 the 2 represents the zeros and the 8 is the number in front of the 2 zeros so in that we now know its 800. So now we have to see how many times greater 3,000,000 is compared to 800. So we see that theres 6 zeros and 2 zeros in Between 2 and 6 there is 4 so the amount of zeros in between is 4 that’s 10^4 but the question isn’t asking for the zeros It’s asking for how many time is it greater 3,000,000 is to 800 for that we need to take 3,000,000 And divide It by 800 that gives us 3750.
