One grain of this sand weighs approximately [tex]7 \times 10^{-5}[/tex] grams. How many grains of sand are there in 6300 kg of sand? Give your answer in standard form.

Answer :

Answer:

"[tex]9\times 10^{10}[/tex]" or "90000000000" grains are there in 6300 kg of sand

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1 grain sand weighs = 7[tex]\times[/tex] [tex]10^{-5}[/tex]

Let x be the number of grain in 6300 kg of sand

Solution:

x= [tex]\frac{6300 \times 10^3}{7\times10^{-5}}= 900\times10^3\times10^5=9\times10^{10}[/tex]

"[tex]9\times 10^{10}[/tex]" or "90000000000" grains are there in 6300 kg of sand
