I leave my family's vacation cabin at 8 a.m. and start driving home at a nice, safe 45 mph. Two hours later, my husband, who alw
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2:30 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

In two hours (from 10am), she is 45 * 2 = 90 miles from vacation cabin.

From then on her average is still 45 mph and her husband's is 65 mph. So, husband catches her 20 miles (65-45=20) in every hour.

<em>The husband has to catch up 90 miles. How long would it take if he is catching up at 20 miles an hour?</em>

<em>90/20 = 4.5 hours</em>

<em />

<em>So husband starts at 10am and 4.5 hours form that time is 2.30pm</em>

The moon is about 240,000 miles from Earth. What is the distance written as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten?
ololo11 [35]

We need to find 240,000 written as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten.

We need to get rid of the four zeros behind 24 in 240,000.

24 would be our whole number.

We would need to multiply 24 by 10,000 to get 240,000.

10,000 is equal to 10^{4} because there are 4 zeros. Ex. when multiplying 200 by 30, we first multiply 2 * 3 then we add 3 zeros to the end of  6. So for 10*10*10*10, we add 4 zeros to the end of 1 which equals 10,000.

So the answer would be 24 × 10^{4}
