2/3 cup orange juice    X    2 cups  pineapple juice

———————————-

1/4 cup pineapple juice

first multiply numerator :  2/3 x 2   =  4/3

and divide by denominator

(4/3)/(1/4). Keep the first.  Change the sign to multiplication and Flip the second fraction.

4/3 x 4/1 = 16/3

change to proper fraction :  16/3 = 5 1/3 cups

A survey of the readers of three daily news papers; Nation, standard and Kenya times showed the following results. i) A total of
daser333 [38]
N(N ∩ S ∩ K) = 10
n(ξ) = 250
n(S ∪ K) = 15 - 10 = 5
n(N ∪ S) = 20 - 10 = 10
n(N ∪ K) = 30 - 10 = 20
n(S) = 50 - 10 - 5 - 10 = 25
n(K) = 55 - 20 - 5 - 10 = 20
n(N) = 100 - 10 - 20 - 10 = 60

n(N ∪ S ∪ K) = 10 + 5 + 10 + 20 + 25 + 20 + 60 = 150

Therefore, n(N ∪ S ∪ K)' = 250 - 150 = 100

Therefore, 100 million people do not read any of the three papers.

Describe how to write 7,594,000,000 in scientific notation. Complete the description. First move the decimal point places to the
s2008m [1.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is 7,594,000,000.

To convert it into scientific notation,

First move the decimal point places to the left to find a number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. Then multiply by 10 , using an exponent on 10 that equals the number of places you moved the decimal. The exponent is negative if the original no was <1 and the exponent is positive, if the original number was  > 1.

In 7,594,000,000, we move the decimal point places to the left before 5. It means we have moved 9 digits left.

Hence, 7,594,000,000=7.59\times 10^9 is the scientific notation.
