Answer:

  7.763×10^7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

  (1225\,mi)\dfrac{1\,in}{1.578\cdot 10^{-5}\,mi}=\dfrac{12.25}{1.578}\cdot 10^{2-(-5)}\,in \approx 7.763\cdot 10^7\,in

When writing 1225 in scientific notation, it is convenient to choose an exponent so that the division result comes out with the right scale factor. It is easy to see that 1.2 < 1.6, so use of numbers with exactly one digit to the left of the decimal point would result in a fraction as an answer. We want the answer to have 1 digit left of the decimal point, so by scaling the operands to be 12. and 1.6, we get that result. Of course, the powers of 10 are adjusted accordingly.

This scaling process only matters if you're computing the results by hand. Any calculator can properly keep track of the required exponents.

__

"Back in the day" when slide rules were the calculating tool of choice, the operands and answer to any multiplication or division problem were only shown as 3 (sometimes 4) significant digits. All of the power-of-ten scaling was done "by hand" (usually, mentally). That is, the division would be 1225/1578 ≈ 776 × some scale factor. This is where thinking of the numbers as 12.25/1.578 = 7.76 comes in handy.

A cylindrical diesel fuel holding tank has a radius of 6 feet and a length of 12 feet. What is the maximum volume of fuel the ta
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: 1356 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of cylinder is given by :_

Volume = \pi r^2l, where r is the radius and l is the length of the cylinder.

Given : A cylindrical diesel fuel holding tank has a radius of r= 6 feet and a length of l=12 feet.

Therefore,

Volume=\pi (6)^2(12)\\\Rightarrow\ Volume=3.14\times(36)(12)=1356.48\approx1356

Hence, the volume of cylindrical diesel fuel holding tank =1356 cubic feet

Therefore, the  maximum volume of fuel the tank can hold 1356 cubic feet.

Answer:

A. 1.4*20 quarters

B.14

Step-by-step explanation:

A: 1.you start with 20 quarters= 20*1

2.you find 40% of twenty quarters in your room= 4/100*20=0.4*20

3.20*1+20*0.4= 20*1.4

B:20*1.4=28

28*50/100=14
