Part A:
The area of the rectangular field is:
(2.7 x 10^3 ft) x (3.5 x 10^3 ft) = 9.45 x 10^6 ft^2
Half of the field is used to grow crops, so the area of the portion with crops growing is:
(1/2) x 9.45 x 10^6 ft^2 = 4.725 x 10^6 ft^2
Part B:
To write the final answer in scientific notation with the correct number of significant digits and units, we need to round the result to two significant digits and include the units:
4.725 x 10^6 ft^2 ≈ 4.7 x 10^6 ft^2
Part C:
The original measurements in the problem were given to two significant digits, so the final answer should also have two significant digits. We rounded up from 4.725 to 4.7 because the next digit (5) is greater than 5, which means we round up according to rounding rules. Finally, the units of the answer are square feet, which come from multiplying the length and width of the rectangle.
