PLEASE HELP ME
The distance to Pluto is approximately 5,900,000,000 km. A firefly is about 0.04 cm. long.

1. What is the distance to Pluto written in scientific notation?

2. What is the length of a firefly written in scientific notation?

3. How many fireflies would it take to reach Pluto if they were put end to end? Write your answer in scientific notation and round to the nearest tenth (Hint: Check the units before you complete the operation)

Scientific notation has 1 number to the left of the decimal and is multiplied by 10 raised to the number of spaces the decimal is moved.

A) 5.9 x 10 ^ 9

B) 4 x 10 ^ -2

C) 1 km = 100,000 cm

4x 10^-2 x 100,000 = 4000 fireflies per km = 4 x 10 ^3 fireflies per km

5.9x 10^9 x 4x 10 ^3 = 2.4 X 10^13
