(a)
Interpretation:
0.0123 when expressed in scientific notation, the number of places the decimal point has to be moved must be given.
Concept Introduction:
In scientific work, large and very small numbers occurs frequently. But it is been observed that, to record these vast numbers or very small numbers is difficult because, the numbers may get missed while recording them. It is time consuming and the possibilities of error occurrence are also high. Hence to overcome these demerits, a method called scientific notation is used. Scientific notation is a numerical system where a decimal number is expressed as product of two number between 1 and 10 (coefficient) and 10 that is raised to power (exponential term). In this method the numbers are expressed in form of “
(b)
Interpretation:
375,000 when expressed in scientific notation, the number of places the decimal point has to be moved must be given.

- At sea, distances are measured in nautical miles and speeds are expressed in knots. 1 nautical mile =6076.12ft 1 knot =1 nautical mi/h (exactly) (a) How many miles are in one nautical mile? (b) How many meters are in one nautical mile? (c) A ship is traveling at a rate of 22 knots. Express the ship's speed in miles per hour.arrow_forwardConsider multiplying “26.2” by “16.43.” What would a mathematician say the answer is? What would a scientist say? Justify the scientist’s answer, not merely citing the rule, hut explaining it.arrow_forward1.18 Two golfers are practicing shots around a putting green. Each golfer takes 20 shots. Golfer 1 has 7 shots within 1 meter of the hole, and the other 13 shots are scattered around the green. Golfer 2 has 17 shots that go into a small sand trap near the green and 3 just on the green near the trap. Which golfer is more precise? Which is more accurate?arrow_forward
