Schach [20]3 years ago

\bf \cfrac{4A}{5}\implies \cfrac{4}{5}\cdot A\impliedby \textit{A is being reduced to four fifths} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{let's convert four fifths to percentage}}{\cfrac{4}{5}\cdot 100\implies \cfrac{400}{5}\implies 80}


so 4/5 of A is really 80% of A then.

since a whole A is 100% of A, 100% - 80% = 20%, A is being reduced by 20%, namely 1/5.

How many times is 1 trillion greater than 1 billion
vodomira [7]

1 trillion can be written as 1,000,000,000,000

1 billion can be written as 1,000,000,000

There are 3 more 0’s in 1 trillion than there are in 1 billion, so therefore 1 trillion is 1,000 times greater than 1 billion.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

Hope this helps

4.5*10^-8/9*10^-9 find the quotient and write it in scientific form
g100num [7]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5*10^-8/ 9*10^-9

1) Reduce the fraction, express 9 as a product of multiplying 4.5*2

4.5*10^-8/4.5*2*10^-9

2) Then notice the common factor of numerator and denominator( 4.5) , get rid of it in both numerator and dnominator

3) 10^-8/ 2*10^-9= 1/2*(10^-8/10^-9)= 0.5* (10^-8/10^-9)

10^-8/10^-9= 10^(-8-(-9))= 10^1=10.

so 0.5*10=5 (it is the answer written in scientific form)
