The length of the shorter wire is 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the 27 cm wire is cut into two pieces of length x cm and so the longer part would be x+3 cm.

Now we know that the total length of the wire is 27cm so

x+(x+3) = 27

2x+3 = 27

2x = 27-3

2x = 24

x = 12 cm

Hi there! :)

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{C}$

To simplify the process, convert each given weight into standard notation:

Lion:

$1 * 10^{5} = 1 * 100000 = 100,000 g$

Ant:

$2 * 10^{-3} = 2* 0.001 = 0.002$

Divide the ant's weight from the lion's weight:

$100000 / 0.002 = 50,000,000$

Convert to scientific notation: (use # of zeros to determine exponent)

$50,000,000 = 5 * 10^{7}$

Therefore, the correct answer is C.
