Answer: m=1.5, n=11
Explanation:
When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent. Then, the significant figures will be the digits that are before the power of ten.
In the case of the following number, which represents the average distance from the Sun to the Earth in meters:
[tex]150,000,000,000 m[/tex]
Which expressed in scientific notation as [tex]m(10)^{n}[/tex] is:
[tex]1.5(10)^{11}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]m=1.5[/tex] and [tex]n=11[/tex]
