The problem asks you to express the number of bacteria in 10 grams of dirt, given that there are \(9.2 \times 10^5\) bacteria in 1 gram.

To find the number of bacteria in 10 grams, you can multiply the given bacteria count for 1 gram by 10:

\[
9.2 \times 10^5 \times 10 = 9.2 \times 10^6
\]

Thus, the answer in scientific notation is \(9.2 \times 10^6\) bacteria.

Would you like more details on how scientific notation works or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How would the bacteria count change if the sample weighed 100 grams?
2. What would be the bacteria count for a sample weighing 0.1 grams?
3. Can you express the bacteria count for 0.01 grams in scientific notation?
4. How do you multiply numbers in scientific notation?
5. How can you convert a number in scientific notation back to standard form?

**Tip:** When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, add the exponents if the bases are the same (like 10 in this case).

9.2 × 10^5 bacteria are measured to be in a dirt sample that weighs 1 gram. Use scientific notation to express the number of bacteria that would be in a sample weighing 10 grams.

Learn how to express the number of bacteria in a 10-gram dirt sample using scientific notation. This problem demonstrates the concept of multiplying powers of 10, given that 9.2 × 10^5 bacteria are present in 1 gram. Suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
