Multiplying -15 by 60 yields -900, so the amount of water in the pool changes by -900 gallons in one hour.
12. 1.625 [terminating]; 13. 0.83 [bar notation over 3 (repeating)]; 14. 900 cm = 9 m; 15. 0.23 cm = 2.3 mm
Repeating decimals are parts of decimals that have repetitive digits; terminating decimals are decimals whose digits end.
Whether you are using Metric or Imperial, you have to determine whether you are going from a small unit to a big unit or vice versa. Then perform your operation. So, in exercise 14, the smaller unit is centimeters, so you would be going from big to small. Exercise 15 has you going from small to big.
There are centimeters in one meter, so multiply 9 by to get 900 centimeters.
There are 10 millimeters in one centimeter, so divide 2.3 by 10 simply by moving the decimal point ONCE to the left [Power of 10].
small to BIG → Division
BIG to small → Multiplication

Answer:
2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second
Step-by-step explanation:
Scientific notation (also called "Standard form") is written in the form of
, where
and
is any positive or negative whole number.
To <u>convert</u> a number into <u>scientific notation</u>, move the decimal point to the left or right until there is <u>one digit before the decimal point.</u>
The number of times you have moved the decimal point is the power of 10 (
).
If the decimal point has moved to the <u>left</u>, the power is <u>positive</u>.
If the decimal point has moved to the <u>right</u>, the power is <u>negative</u>.
<u>To convert the given number to scientific notation</u>
The decimal point for the given number 299000000 is after the last zero:
⇒ 299000000.
Move the decimal point 8 places to the left:
⇒ 2.99000000
Get rid of the redundant zeros:
⇒ 2.99
Multiply by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places moved:
⇒ 2.99 x 10⁸
Therefore, the speed of light using scientific notation is:
- 2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second
