Chef Rita can feed 20 people.

Explanation:
If 22 pancakes can feed 8 people, then 11 pancakes can feed 4 people (divide both by 2). Since 55 is 11x5, you multiply 4 times 5 to get 20.

Hope this helps!

$8\times10^9=2^{12}\times5^9$

1) Since in the USA 8 x 10 ^9 messages are sent every month, that means that approximately 8 billion messages are sent.

2) We can Prime factorize it:

Note that on the right side we've picked only prime numbers. In this case, 2 and 5.

So we can rewrite 8 x 10^9 as prime factors.

$8\times10^9=2^{12}\times5^9$

3) Hence, the answer is:

$8\times10^9=2^{12}\times5^9$
