Answer:

I) 8.760 * 10 ³ hours

II) 8.76582 * 10 ³ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1) No. of hours in one year:

24 hours* 365 days= 8760 hours

Scientific Notation= 8.760 * 10 ³ hours

2) 1 year = 31556952 seconds

1 hour=3600

1 year = 31556952 seconds/3600 = 8765. 82 hours

Scientific Notation= 8.76582 * 10 ³ hours

3) The exact numbers of hours using 365 days is 8760 which is written as 8.760* 10 ³ in scientific notation. But using the given data we get =8.76582 * 10 ³ hours

Comparing these answers the first one has only 3 significant figures

But the second answer has six significant figures if we round these we get 8.8 * 10 ³ hours which has two significant numbers

Aslo rounding the first gives 8.8 * 10 ³ hours which has two significant numbers and is the same as the other answer rounded

Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line x= 19 and contains the<br> point (-4,7)

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

x = - 4

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Catherine's sister ate 2/15 gallons of the ice cream.

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the amount of ice cream that Catherine's sister ate, in gallons.

Original amount: 1 gallon.

What Catherine ate: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}$ gallons.
What Catherine's sister ate is assumed to be $x$ gallons.

What's left: $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ gallons.

Consider the relationship:

$\text{Original amount - What Catherine ate - What Catherine's Sister ate}\\ =\text{ What's left.}$ .

That is:

$\displaystyle 1- \frac{1}{5} - x = \frac{2}{3}$ .

Add $x$ to both sides of this equation:

$\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{3} +x$

Substract $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ from both sides:

$\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{2}{3} = x$ .

Convert the denominator of all three numbers on the left-hand side to $3 \times 5 = 15$

$\displaystyle \frac{15}{15} - \frac{3}{15} - \frac{10}{15} = x$ .

$\displaystyle x = \frac{2}{15}$ .

In other words, Catherine's sister ate $\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}$ gallons of the ice cream.
