Answer:

C. She left out a zero between the two and the five

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Susan is expected to convert 12,050,000 to scientific notation, what Susan should have done is shown below:

Count the number of decimal places from your right up to before the first digit, and place the decimal point after the first digit. The number of decimal places counted would determine the exponent we are to use.

Here, we have 7 decimal places, counting from the right to the left, therefore, the exponent would be a positive 7.

What Susan should have is:

1.205 × 10⁷ NOT 1.25 × 10⁷.

1.25 × 10⁷ = 12,500,000, which is different from 12,050,000.

Her paper was marked wrong because: "she left out a zero between the two and the five"

A rectangle is formed by placing two identical squares side by side
Agata [3.3K]
The perimeter of one square is 20 cm.

explanation: since the rectangle can be divided into two squares, we can conclude that the area of one square is 25 cm^2 because 50 / 2 = 25. the square root of 25 is 5, so one side length of the square is 5 cm. multiply that by 4 (because there’s 4 sides) and you get 20 cm.
