Answer: The best approximation of the speed of light would be 3.0\times10^8 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is a famous way to express a very large or a very small number as the product of a decimal form of number ( between 1 and 10) and powers of ten.

For example 1300000 can be written as 1.3\times10^6.

Given : The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 meters per second.

Total digits = 9

Power of ten = 9-1=8

Now , the speed of light in a vacuum can be expressed as 2.99792458\times10^8  meters per second.

Since 2.99792458\approx3.0

So , the best approximation of the speed of light would be 3.0\times10^8 meters per second.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$10278

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P= $6000

R= 8%

T= 7 years

The compound interest formula is

A=P(1+r)^t

substitute

A=6000(1+0.08)^7

A=6000(1.08)^7

A=6000*1.713

A=$10278

Can someone help me please!!
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

  AE = CE = 23; BE = DE = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the values of the variables in their place and do the arithmetic.

  AE = 2u+5 = 2(9) +5 = 23

  BE = 6v-1 = 6(3.5) -1 = 20

  CE = 3u-4 = 3(9) -4 = 23

  DE = 8v-8 = 8(3.5) -8 = 20

The diagonals cross at their midpoints, so the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

to find this answer we will then have to do 5 x 2/3

since we our multiplying by a fraction we will then have to change the fraction to a decimal.

2/3 = 0.6

this will then give us the equation of 5 x 0.6

this will give us the sum of 3 jars that had were able to be filled woth marbles.
