Answer:

Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the money owned by Steve and y denotes the money owned by Ben.

Then, Steve gives $3 to Ben

Money left with Steve = x-3 and Ben = y+3

Now, Ben will have twice as much as Steve.

⇒ y+3  = 2(x-3) .............(1)

If Ben gives Steve $7

Money left with Steve = x+7 and Ben = y-7

Then,  the amount Ben has will be one-third that of Steve’s.

⇒ y-7 = \frac{1}{3} (x+7) ..........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get

x = 11 and y = 13

⇒ Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

The diameter of the average cell in the human body is 1 x 10-5 meters. The diameter of a grain of sand is about 2 x 10-4 meters.
MariettaO [177]
PART A:

Scientific notation is given by A×10ⁿ where A is any number in a unit and 'n' is an integer.

0.000025 = 2.5×10⁻⁵

PART B:

Diameter of grain of sand ÷ Diameter of human body average cell
(2×10⁻⁴) ÷ (1×10⁻⁵) 
(2÷1) × (10⁻⁴÷10⁻⁵)
2 × (10⁻⁴ ⁻ ⁻⁵) = 2 × 10⁽⁻⁴⁺⁵⁾ = 2 × 10¹ = 20 times bigger

PART C:

The diameter of human body's average cell in nanometer
1 × 10⁻⁵ metre = 1 × 10⁻⁵ × 10⁹ = 1 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁺⁹⁾ = 1 × 10⁴ nanometer

PART D:

Smallest bacteria = 300 nanometer
300 nm = 300 ÷ 10⁹ = (3 × 10²) ÷ 10⁹ = 3 × (10²⁻⁹) = 3 × 10⁻⁷ meter

PART E:

Laws of exponents that are applied in scientific notation is 

xᵇ × xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁺ᵃ⁾
xᵇ ÷ xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁻ᵃ⁾
