Question: Using scientific notation:? At the end of 1993, there were 109 nuclear power plants operating in the United States. These plants generated a total of 6,520,000,000,000,000 BTU ( British Thermal Unit) of electric power in 1993. How much energy was generated per plant?

Answer: If each plant generated the same amount of energy, then 6,520,000,000,000,000 must be divided by 109, then translated into scientific notation.\n\n5.98165138 × 10^13 BTU\nI solved this using the Google calculator.
