1. **State the problem:** We need to find Canada's deaths per capita in scientific notation, rounded to 2 decimal places. 2. **Given data:** - Deaths in Canada = 543 - Population in Canada = 35.5 million = 35,500,000 3. **Formula:** Deaths per capita = \frac{\text{Deaths}}{\text{Population}} 4. **Calculate deaths per capita:** $$\frac{543}{35,500,000} = 0.00001529...$$ 5. **Convert to scientific notation:** $$0.00001529 = 1.529 \times 10^{-5}$$ 6. **Round to 2 decimal places:** $$1.53 \times 10^{-5}$$ **Final answer:** Canada's deaths per capita in scientific notation is $1.53 \times 10^{-5}$.
