Select the correct answer. Consider these three numbers written in scientific notation: 6. 5 × 103, 5. 5 × 105, and 1. 1 × 103.

Which number is the greatest, and by how many times is it greater than the smallest number? A. The greatest number is 5. 5 × 105. It is 5 times greater than the smallest number. B. The greatest number is 6. 5 × 103. It is 50 times greater than the smallest number. C. The greatest number is 5. 5 × 105. It is 500 times greater than the smallest number. D. The greatest number is 6. 5 × 103. It is 5,000 times greater than the smallest number. E. The greatest number is 5. 5 × 105. It is 5,000 times greater than the smallest number.

Scientific notation uses expression which gives easy access of order. The greatest number is 5.5 \times 10^5 .It is greater by smallest number by 500  times.

<h3>How to convert a number to scientific notation?</h3>

It is usually of the form a.bc.. \times 10^kexponent of 10 starts)

(we have 1 ≤ |a| < 10 ) (where |a| is magnitude of a without sign)

This notation is used to get some idea of how large or small a number is in terms of power of 10.

<h3>What are some basic properties of exponentiation?</h3>

If we have a^bbase and 'b' is called power or exponent and we call it "a is raised to the power b" (this statement might change from text to text slightly).

Exponentiation(the process of raising some number to some power) have some basic rules as:

a^{-b} = \dfrac{1}{a^b}\\\\a^0 = 1 (a \neq 0)\\\\a^1 = a\\\\(a^b)^c = a^{b \times c}\\ a^b \times a^c = a^{b+c}

The given numbers are:

  • First number = 6.5 \times 10^3 = 6500
  • Second number = 5.5 \times 10^5 = 550000
  • Third number = 1.1 \times 10^3 = 1100

The smallest number is 1,100 and greatest is 550,000

Getting the division to get to know how many times the greatest number is larger than the smallest number, we get:

\dfrac{5.5 \times  10^5}{1.1 \times 10^3} = \dfrac{5.5 \times 10^{5-3}}{1.1} = \dfrac{5.5}{1.1} \times 10^2 = 5 \times 10^2 = 500

Thus, it is found that greatest number is 5.5 \times 10^5 . It is greater by smallest number by 500  times.

A teenager’s heart pumps an average of 7200 L of blood every 24 hours. What is the rate of change of volume of blood?
love history [14]

Answer:

300L per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of volume of blood pumped by the teenager's heart expresses the volume of blood pumped with respect to hour.

Rate of change of volume of blood = \frac{volume of blood}{time}

                           = \frac{7200L}{24}

                           = 300L/hour

The rate of change of volume of blood by the teenager's heart is 300 litres per hour. This implies that his/ her heart pumps 300 litres of blood every hour.
