A mouse traveled a total distance of StartFraction 3 Over 24 EndFraction of a mile in a maze over the past 3 hours. The mouse tr

aveled the same distance each hour. To determine the distance that the mouse traveled each hour, Matt performed the calculations below. StartFraction 3 Over 24 EndFraction divided by 3 = StartFraction 3 Over (24 divided by 3) EndFraction = StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction He concluded that the mouse traveled StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction of a mile each hour. What is Matt's error?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,

d=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{24}}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{3}{24}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{24}\ \text{hours}

Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.

How many times larger is 9 x 10^9 than 3 x 10^-4?
andrezito [222]
The larger value is 9 x 10^9
The smaller value is 3 x 10^(-4)

Divide the larger over the smaller
Doing so will have you divide the coefficients 9 and 3 (numbers in front of the "times ten to the..." portions) to get 9/3 = 3. 
Then you'll also subtract the exponents: 9 minus (-4) = 9 - (-4) = 9 + 4 = 13

In summary so far, we got a coefficient of 3 and an exponent of 13

So the final answer is 3 x 10^13 (assuming you want scientific notation)

If you want to convert to standard notation, instead of scientific notation, move the decimal point in 3.0 thirteen spots to the right to get 

30,000,000,000,000

there are 13 zeros (four groups of 3 plus one just after the 3) in that value above. This is the number 30 trillion
