Answer:
median of seventh grade = 16.5
median of ninth grade = 16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
median = middle number, there are 18 numbers in total of each set. Since its even the middle number is kinda 16 and 17, but you can only choose one so the middle of 16 and 17 is 16.5

Powers of 10 is a very useful way of writing down large or small numbers.
Instead of having lots of zeros, you show how many powers of 10 will make that many zeros.
When you work with small numbers, you should use the negative powers of 10. Just remember for negative powers of 10, move the decimal point to the left. For example,
![0.36=3.6\cdot 10^{-1}\ [\text{Move the decimal point one place to the left}]\\ \\0.036=3.6\times 10^{-2}\ [\text{Move the decimal point two places to the left}]\\ \\0.0036=3.6\times 10^{-3}\ [\text{Move the decimal point three places to the left}]\\ \\...](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.36%3D3.6%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-1%7D%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BMove%20the%20decimal%20point%20one%20place%20to%20the%20left%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C0.036%3D3.6%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-2%7D%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BMove%20the%20decimal%20point%20two%20places%20to%20the%20left%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C0.0036%3D3.6%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BMove%20the%20decimal%20point%20three%20places%20to%20the%20left%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C...)
When comparing small numbers, write these numbers in scientific notation (only one non-xero digit must be before point) and then
- if the powers of 10 are the same in compared numbers are the same, just compare the numbers which are multiplied by these powers of 10. For example,
because powers are the same (-6) and 
- if the powers are different, then the smaller is power, the smaller is number (number with the smaller negative power has more places after decimal point). For example,
because 
Say you have 3 cakes. How many cakes would you have eaten if you ate 1/3 of the three cakes? One, you have eaten one cake, out of the three you have.
How many cakes do you have left if you eat 2/3 of the three cakes? Two, you have eaten 2 cakes, and have 1 cake left.
It is a similar approach here, except the confusing part is working "forward", when you really have to work "backward". If you have driven 30 miles, and you have driven 2 parts out of the trip when there is 3 parts of the trip, how many miles have you driven? Hint: Dividing 30 by 2 gives you what fraction of the distance to Jeff's grandmother?
