Convert -1 1/4 to the mixed number -5/4.

Then the product of -1 1/4 and -2/5 is (-5/4)(-2/5) = 10/20, or 1/2.

Please, do not use " x " to indicate multiplication. " x " is reserved for naming variables. Instead, use " * " to indicate mult.

Thus, your problem is best written -1 1/4 * -2/5

Express 78 billion in scientific notation

ryzh [129]

Answer:

$7.8 * 10^{10}$ is scientific notation of 78 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

For scientific notation , follow the following notation:

$a * 10^{b}$ -------->(equation 1)

Let, $a^{'} = 78 billion$

$a^{'} = 78000000000$

$a^{'} = 78000000000.0$

In standard form

$a = 7.8000000000$

$a = 7.8$

As decimal point move 10 places from right to left, therefore

b = 10

Put the value of 'a' and 'b' in (equation 1)

$7.8 * 10^{10}$ is scientific notation of 78 billion

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

$3.8465 *10^7$ square kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a sphere can be found using the formula $SA=4\pi r^2$ . Since the diameter is 3500 km then its radius is half of this. 3500 divided in two is 1,750 units. Substitute r=1,750.
