The state of New York has 645 Starbucks locations and a population of 19.89 million. Write the Starbucks per capita as a decimal to 7 places.

Answer :

We are asked to determine the amount per capita of Starbucks. To do that we will divide the number of Starbucks by the number of inhabitants:

[tex]\frac{645}{19890000}[/tex]

Solving the operation:

[tex]0.0000324[/tex]

This is the answer per capita

In scientific notation, we move the decimal point 5 places to the right and multiply by 10 to the -5, like this:

[tex]0.0000324=3.24\times10^{-5}[/tex]
