Question

Help in math and explain possibly? (THIS IS MATH NOT HISTORY) John Muir was an American naturalist born in Scotland on April 21, 1838. As one of the first advocates of the United States' wilderness preservation, Muir spent his career writing letters, essays and books about many of his experiences in the Sierra Nevada mountains, located in northern California. Muir's influence on the history of American wilderness continues to live on past his death (in the early twentieth century) as people of all ages visit and hike through the 355,665.024 meters of the John Muir Trail, named in Muir's honor. The trail begins in Yosemite National Park and concludes at Mount Whitney, which contains the highest peak of the continental United States.
The longest straight line distance across the United States of 4,509.382 kilometers begins in Ocean Creek, Oregon and ends in Jupiter, Florida. Use scientific notation to calculate how many times greater the straight line distance across the Uni

Answer 1

Answer:

1.268 ∙ 10^1

hope that kinda helps

:D

Answer 2

Important parts are the
4509.382KM and the 355665.024M
Notice that 4509 IS a smaller number, but KM is 1000x bigger than a meter, so it's actually, in meters,
4,509,382M

The end of your question is cut off so it's hard to answer but I think it's asking how much longer 4509 is in scientific notation compared to the 355665 meters.

3.55665 x 10^5 is 355665 meters
And as you can see, when comparing the two,
4.509382 x 10^6 the 4509 has one power higher than the other, 5.

10^6 means 1,000,000 (one million)
And 10^5 means 100,000 (100 thousand) 10^6 is ten times bigger than 10^5, and you can conclude that the 4509 is bigger because of comparing the two with scientific notation like this
