Answer:
k x 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
because k x 1/2 = k/2
To solve this, it is easiest to set up a proportion, letting x represent the number that we don't know.
2/10 = x/5
Now, we can use cross products to simplify this proportion. Cross products sets the products of the numerator and denominator of separate fractions equal to one another. It results in the equation:
(5)(2) = (10)(x)
Let's multiply out these numbers to further simplify the equation.
10 = 10x
Finally, we have to divide both sides by 10, to get our variable x alone
x = 1
Therefore, 2 tenths is equal to 1 fifth.
Answer:
4.04 x 10^0 people/km^2 (x 10^0 is fairly redundant but if the answer is required in standard form then include it)
Step-by-step explanation:
Population Density = Population/Area
= 3.11 x 10^7 / 7.69 x 10^6
= 31,100,000 / 7,690,000
= 3110 / 769
= 4.04
= 4.04 x 10^0

To answer this question, you need to divide the mass of the sun by the mass of mercury. So
2.13525 x 10^30 / 3.285 x 10^23 = ?
To do the division, divide the mantissas in the normal fashion
2.13525 / 3.285 = 0.65
And subtract the exponents.
30 - 23 = 7
So you get
0.65 x 10^7
Unless the mantissa is zero, the mantissa must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than 10. So multiply the mantissa by 10 and then subtract 1 from the exponent, giving
6.5 x 10^6
So the sun is 6.5 x 10^6 times as massive as mercury.</span>
