7 0

So here, just work backwards:

7+8=15
15/3=5

5 0

3a - 8 = 7
3a (-8 + 8) = (7+8)
3a = 15
(3a/3) = (15/3)
a = 5
The answer is 5

maria [59]

Answer:

Option D: 6:12 is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the simplest form of ratio to compare it with the given ratios.

According to given statement,

The ratio is:

$No.\ of\ Blue\ Paint\ Gallons: No.\ of\ red\ paint\ gallons\\2:4\\Simplifying\\1:2$

Now we will check if the given options can be simplified to 1:2

So,

Option A:

$8:12\\2:3$

Option B:

$8:24\\1:3$

Option C:

$3:5$

Option D:

$6:12\\1:2$

As we can see that 6:12 can be simplified to 1:2 which is same as 2:4 so it will make the same shade of purple.

Hence,

Option D: 6:12 is correct answer.

Simplify the expression with using scientific notation (4 times 10 8)2

kifflom [539]

The scientific notation:

$a\cdot10^n\\\\1\leq a < 10;\ n\in\mathbb{Z}$

$(4\cdot10^8)^2=4^2(10^8)^2=16\cdot10^{8\cdot2}=16\cdot10^{16}\\\\=1.6\cdot10\cdot10^{16}=1.6\cdot10^{17}$

Used:

$(a\cdot b)^n=a^n\cdot b^n\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{n\cdot m}\\\\a^n\cdot a=a^{n+1}$

Answer: (4 × 10⁸)² = 1.6 × 10¹⁷
