Kale works in a packaging factory that has 900 employees. By the end of each day, they manage to package 3.2 × 10^5 products. What is the average amount of products packaged per employee represented in scientific notation? Round so the first factor goes to the tenths place.

Answer :

3.6 × 10² products/ employee

Explanation:

product packaged = 3.2 × 10^5

number of employees = 900

the average amount of products packaged per employee = amount of product packaged/number of employees

the average amount of products packaged per employee = 3.2 × 10^5 products/900

= 320000/900

the average amount of products packaged per employee = 355.55

In scientific notation:

= 3.5555 × 10²

Round so the first factor goes to the tenths place = 3.6 × 10²

Therefore, the average amount of products packaged per employee = 3.6 × 10²
