Answer:

The king left his castle with 44 silver coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

A king left his castle with a bag of silver coins and he gave his coins to 3 peasants in an order. Finally he went home with two coins left.

To solve this question we calculate it in reverse order.

Finally the king has in his bag = 2 coins

Before it he met third peasant king had =

= (2+2) × 2

= 4×2 = 8

Before the king met third peasant, he had 8 coins.

Before he met Second peasant king had :

= (8+2) × 2

= 10 × 2 = 20

Before he met second peasant king had 20 coins.

Before he met first peasant he had :

= (20+ 2) × 2

= 22 × 2 = 44

Before King met first peasant he had 44 silver coins.

Jordon missed 49 on his multiple choice math final and earned a grade of 65%. How many total questions were on the final exam?

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The exam was out of 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that he earned 65% so more than half his answers were correct.

Then, you would guess and check try 49/60, 49/70, and go up by 10s or 5s. You will then realize that 49÷75 equals 65.333. This rounds up to 65.

Answer:

3.3 x 10⁻⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$\frac{2.64 x 10^{-3} }{8.0 x 10^{0} }$

To solve this problem;

10° = 1

So;

$\frac{2.64 x 10^{-3} }{8.0}$

= $\frac{2.64}{8}$ x 10⁻³

= 0.33 x 10⁻³

= 3.3 x 10⁻¹ x 10⁻³

= 3.3 x 10⁻⁴
