Express 52 thousandths in scientific notation

Answer:

5.2 x 10^-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is used to simplify very large or very small numbers.

The formula for scientific notation is (a x 10^ n)

(a) is a number that is both greater than 1 and less than 10

(n) is the number of places the decimal place moves. This number can be positive or negative depending on the number you are converting. If the original number is greater than 1 (n) will be positive, and if the number is less than 1 (n) will be negative.

First you should write out the number.

0.052

Then, you should determine the number places the decimal point must move, and create a number greater than 1 and less than 10. (You should also pay attention to the direction the decimal point moves)

For this problem you will move the decimal place 2 places to the right to create the number 5.2.

Last, substitute the values into the formula. For this problem (a)= 5.2 and (n)= -2. This gives us the expression 5.2 x 10^-2.

The number 66 is increased to 72. What is the percentage by which the number was increased, to the nearest tenth of a percent?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The increase is 9.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Make an equation </u>

66 * x = 72

66x = 72

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by 66 </u>

66x / 66 = 72 / 66

x = 1.09090

<u>Step 3:  Find the increased </u>

1 - 1.09090

0.091 * 100

9.1%

Answer:  The increase is 9.1%
