The diver because distance is measured in absolute value so no matter if the value is suppose to be negative distance will always be measured as absolute value. In this case the biggest number is the farthest away.

Vanillin (used to flavor vanilla ice cream and other foods) is the substance whose aroma the human nose detects in the smallest

Answer:

Cost to supply enough vanillin is $3.2\$$

Explanation:

Threshold limit of vanillin in air is $2.0\times 10^{-11}g$ per litre means there should be $2.0\times 10^{-11}g$ of vanillin in 1L of air to detect aroma of vanillin.

$1ft^{3}=28.32L$

So, $5.0\times 10^{7}ft^{3}=(5.0\times 10^{7}\times 28.32)L$

So amount of vanillin should be present to detect = $(2.0\times 10^{-11}\times 5.0\times 10^{7}\times 28.32)g$

As cost of 50 g vanillin is $112\$$ therefore cost of $(2.0\times 10^{-11}\times 5.0\times 10^{7}\times 28.32)g$ vanillin = $(2.0\times 10^{-11}\times 5.0\times 10^{7}\times 28.32\times 112)\$ = 3.2\$$
