Question

you are at a boat dealership and you want to compare the prices of four boats. edit the code in the workspace to print out the price of each boat using scientific notation. 3.1.1.a compare boat prices

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Boat Prices

Boat 1: $2350, Boat 2: $120000, Boat 3: $300, Boat 4: $935.

Step2: Convert to Scientific Notation

• Boat 1: \(2350 = 2.35\times10^{3}\) (since \(2350\div10^{3}=2.35\))
• Boat 2: \(120000 = 1.2\times10^{5}\) (since \(120000\div10^{5}=1.2\))
• Boat 3: \(300 = 3\times10^{2}\) (since \(300\div10^{2}=3\))
• Boat 4: \(935 = 9.35\times10^{2}\) (since \(935\div10^{2}=9.35\))

Step3: Update Code for Each Boat

• For Boat 1: Set boat1 to \(2.35\times10^{3}\) (so replace the number in the set boat1 block with \(2.35\) and the exponent part to \(3\) in the pow(10,3)).
• For Boat 2: Set boat2 to \(1.2\times10^{5}\) (replace number with \(1.2\) and exponent to \(5\) in pow(10,5)).
• For Boat 3: Set boat3 to \(3\times10^{2}\) (replace number with \(3\) and exponent to \(2\) in pow(10,2)).
• For Boat 4: Set boat4 to \(9.35\times10^{2}\) (replace number with \(9.35\) and exponent to \(2\) in pow(10,2)).

Step4: Run the Code

After updating all the set blocks with the correct scientific notation values, click "Run" to print the prices in scientific notation.

Answer:

Update the set blocks as follows:

• set boat1 to \(2.35 \times \text{pow}(10, 3)\)
• set boat2 to \(1.2 \times \text{pow}(10, 5)\)
• set boat3 to \(3 \times \text{pow}(10, 2)\)
• set boat4 to \(9.35 \times \text{pow}(10, 2)\)

Then click "Run" to execute the code.
