Answer:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation (also called "Standard form") is written in the form of $a \times 10^n$ , where $1\leq a < 10$ and $n$ is any positive or negative whole number.

To convert a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left or right until there is one digit before the decimal point.

The number of times you have moved the decimal point is the power of 10 ( $n$ ).

If the decimal point has moved to the left, the power is positive.

If the decimal point has moved to the right, the power is negative.

To convert the given number to scientific notation

The decimal point for the given number 299000000 is after the last zero:

⇒ 299000000.

Move the decimal point 8 places to the left:

⇒ 2.99000000

Get rid of the redundant zeros:

⇒ 2.99

Multiply by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places moved:

⇒ 2.99 x 10⁸

Therefore, the speed of light using scientific notation is:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

3. What is the average (arithmetic mean) of all the multiples of ten from 10 to 190 inclusive?

viktelen [127]

Hello!

The average mean (arithmetic mean) of all the multiples of ten from 10 to 190 inclusive would be C. 100.

Explanation:

10 and 190 inclusive would mean that there are 19 terms.

To find the arithmetic mean, we must add all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers.

If you add up all the terms, you will get 1,900. Now, divide that by the number of terms.

1,900 ÷ 19 = 100

Therefore, your answer is C. 100.

Have a wonderful day!

Out of a salary of $4500. I kept 1/3 as saving. Out of the remaining money. I spend 50% on food and 20% on house rent. How much

Step2247 [10]

Well 1/3 for savings means that you save 1/3*4500 or 1500 dollars.
You then have $3000 left. Of this if you spend 50% on food, you spend 0.5*3000 or 1500 dollars on food.

Which statement is false?(1 point)

Sergio039 [100]

A.Fractions and decimals are not integers. All whole numbers areintegers (and all natural numbers are integers), but not all integersare whole numbers or natural numbers. For example, -5 is an integerbut not a whole number or a natural number.
B.A number is rational if it can be represented as p q with p , q ∈ Z and q ≠ 0 . Any number which doesn't fulfill the above conditions is irrational. It can be represented as a ratio of two integers as well as ratio of itself and an irrational number such that zero is not dividend in any case
C.In mathematics, an irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers. Irrational numbers cannot be represented as terminating or repeating decimals.
D.The correct answer is rational and real numbers, because all rational numbers are also real. Correct. The number is between integers, so it can't be an integer or a whole number. It's written as a ratio of two integers, so it's a rational number and not irrational.
