a science quiz has eight multiple choice questions with five choices for each. Find the total number of ways to answer the quest

almond37 [142]

Answer:

390625

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions are all independent -- the answer on one question does not limit the number of possible answers on another question.

The quiz has 5 choices for each question, so there are

$5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5$ ways to answer the quiz questions.

Notice that this could be written $5^8$ . You could say that the number of ways to answer the questions is

$number \, of \, choices^{number \, of \, questions}$

Use a calculator to find $5^8$

Compute 4.659×104−2.14×104. Round the answer appropriately.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

261.98 is the value of the given expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the value of the following expression:

$4.659\times 104 - 2.14\times 104$

Using the associative property, we can write and solve the given expression as:

$(4.659 - 2.14)\times 104\\=2.519\times 104\\=261.976$

Rounding off the answer, we get,

$261.976\approx 261.98$

Thus, 261.98 is the value of the given expression.
