Assuming they work until their cost become the same, obviously.
The difference between the first charge of painter A and painter B = 376 - 280 = 96.
The hourly cost difference between painter B and painter A = 15 - 12 = 3.
So, painter A in the first hour has 96 more dollars than painter B, and as every hour pass, the difference goes down by 3 (as painter B gets 3 more dollars every hour)
Therefore, it would take 96 : 3 = 32 hours for the cost to be the same
Recheck : After 32 hours, painter A has 376 + 32 x 12 = 760 (dollars)
painter B has : 280 + 15 x 32 = 760 (dollars)
Answer:
= The exponent is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
(9.1 × 10^9)(7.5 × 10^2)
When multiplying terms in scientific notation, we multiply the numbers in front and add the exponents
(a* 10^b) (c* 10^d) = ac * 10^(b+d)
(9.1 × 10^9)(7.5 × 10^2) = (9.1*7.5) * 10^(9+2)
=68.25 * 10^11
But this is not proper scientific notation. We can only have 1 number in front of the decimal. We need to move the decimal 1 place to the right. That adds 1 to the exponent.
=68.25 * 10^11 = 6.825 * 10^(11+1)
= 6.825 * 10^12
The best deal would be 5 apples for 6.25
