We need to divide 4,971 by 10 until its a number less then 10.

4,971 / 10 = 497.1

497.1 / 10 = 49.71

49.71 / 10 = 4.971

Now, 4.971 is less then 10, so, we can write this into scientific notation.

4.971 * 10^?

We need to know what power we add to 10 to get 4,971. We can solve for looking at the number of times we divided. As you can see above, we divided 3 times so that will be the power of 10.

4.971 * 10³

Best of Luck!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You would first add c to the side that k is on and then divide k+c by 4 because it is 4x which means they are being multiplied together so you have to divide to get them apart.

Marcos is in charge of counting cans for the food drive. He organizes the cans in 6-by-8 arrays, and he has 10 of these arrays.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The final answer is NO, i.e. He does not have at least 500 cans.

Step-by-step explanation:

He organizes the cans in 6-by-8 arrays.

The number of elements in the array can be found by finding the multiplication of its Rows numbers with its Columns numbers.

Given the array is of order 6-by-8. So the elements in the array = 6x8 = 48 elements.

And he has 10 of these arrays. So total cans = 48 x 10 = 480 cans.
