Given:
child = 2 forks
adult = 5 forks
total number of forks = 2992
total number of people = 764

c + a = 764
2c + 5a = 2992

find the value of c using the 1st equation.

c = 764 - a

substitute c in the 2nd equation by its value

2c + 5a = 2992
2(764-a) + 5a = 2992

1528 - 2a + 5a = 2992
1528 + 3a = 2992
3a = 2992 - 1528
3a = 1464
3a/3 = 1464/3
a = 488

c = 764 - a
c = 764 - 488
c = 276

child = 276 ; adult = 488

2c + 5a = 2992
2(276) + 5(488) = 2992
552 + 2440 = 2992
2992 = 2992

Which statement is correct?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

2.06 \times 10^-^2 = 206

1.88 \times 10^-^1 = 18.8

206 \times 18.8 = 3,872.8

7.69 \times 10^-^2 = 769

2.3 \times 10^-^5  = 230,000

=\frac{769}{230000}

= 0.00334

therefore,

3,872.80 > 0.00334

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statement is correct?

(2.06x102x1.88 x 10-1) <7.69x 10

2.3x10-5

(2.06 x 10-2)(1.88 x 10-1) 7.69x 10-

2.3x10-5

7.69 x 10"

(2.06 x 10-2x1.88x10-)>

2.3x10-5

(2.06x 10-2X(1.88x 10-1)-7.69x104

2.3x10-5

Given that;

2.06 \times 10^-^2 = 206

1.88 \times 10^-^1 = 18.8

206 \times 18.8 = 3,872.8

7.69 \times 10^-^2 = 769

2.3 \times 10^-^5  = 230,000

=\frac{769}{230000}

= 0.00334

therefore,

3,872.80 > 0.00334
