Answer:

181 million km

Step-by-step explanation:

"Correct to the nearest unit" means the actual value might be 1/2 unit larger (or smaller) than the reported value.

The upper bound would be the product of the maximum number of bicycles and the maximum distance each travels:

(72.5 · 10^6 bicycles)(2.5 km/bicycle) = 181.25 · 10^6 km

Since the given numbers are good to 2 significant figures (or so), we might reasonably put the upper bound as 180·10^6 km.

Write as a numerical expression: “ Six less than twice a number is four “

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2x - 6 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let's assume the number is x

Then, twice the number is 2 times x = 2x

6 less than twice the number is four

2x - 6 = 4

2x - 6 + 6 = 4 + 6

2x = 10

2x/2 = 10/2

x = 5
