Scientific notation<span> is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers.

For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write </span> $5.6 * 10^{-9}$ .

Hence, in scientific notation

0.000028 = $2.8 * 10^{-5}$

So, the answer is -5. The power of ten has to be -5.

-5 as that you would have to count that places to the left. You end decimal would have to be between 1 and 10, so it would not count the 8. I'm sorry if my explanation is not good, but that is the right answer

Write an expression to represent the length of a string in yards in terms of the string's length, x, in inches

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$y = \frac{x}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of string = x inches

Required

Determine the length in yards

Represent the equivalent length with y

Such that

$y = x\ inches$

Divide x by 36 to get equivalent in yards

$y = \frac{1}{36} * x$

$y = \frac{x}{36}$

Hence, the equivalent in yards is $\frac{x}{36}$

pam deposited $6,900 in a savings account with simple interest. Four months later she had earned $23 in interest. What was the i

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1%

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the simple interest equation of A=P(1+rt).

A-the total amount with interest earned

P-the initial amount or principal

r-rate

t-time in years

We substitute the values P=6900, A=6923, and t=0.33 since 4 months divided by 12 months is 0.333 years. We then solve for r.

$6923=6900(1+r(0.33))\\6923=6900(1+0.33r)\\\frac{6923}{6900} =\frac{6900(1+0.33r)}{6900} \\1.0033=1+0.33r\\1.0033-1=1-1+0.33r\\0.0033=0.33r$

Our final step is to divide both sides by 0.33.

$\frac{0.0033}{0.33} =\frac{0.33r}{0.33} \\0.01=r$

This is the decimal of the rate. We convert to a percentage by multiplying by 100. 0.01(100)=1%.
