Answer:

D 4.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the area of room be A

Irina painting speed be x, 8x = A

Paulo painting speed be y, 9y = A

Together painting speed = x + y = A/8 + A/9

Assume together painting time = t

(A/8 + A/9) t = A

(1/8 + 1/9)t = 1

17t = 72

t = 4.24

What is 403,000,000,000,000 in scientific
frozen [14]

Answer:

(A) 4.03 x 10^14

Step-by-step explanation:

403,000,000,000,000

Scientific notation is of the form

a * 10 ^b

where a is a number from 1 to a number less than 10

Put the decimal in the number

403,000,000,000,000.

We need to move the decimal 14 places to the left to get the number to be between 1 and 10

4.03000000000000  so the b is 14

Since we moved it to the left b is positive

We can drop the extra zeros at the end (after the last nonzero digit)

4.03 *10^14
