-513.22
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't think they earned any profit. but instead lost money. Sorry it was wrong at first, I misread something.
Answer:
The key to this question is converting all the mass units to the same unit and adding them all up.
The only value that isn't consistent with the other units is 450 gm or grams.
Recall that 1 gram is equal to 0.001 kilo grams. So if you want to convert grams to kilograms you would multiply that amount by 0.001 or 1/1000
Now let's add up all the masses.
(Now a few footnotes here, that I considered but wasn't sure about. The answer asks for weight, but you're only given mass to work with. That would be fine, if the question asked you to convert it to SI weight units like Newtons, but there's no mention of that. And also I'm not sure if the question requires significant digits. But I'll continue the answer if you think so)
To convert this into weight in Newtons, multiply by 9.81 m/s^2
Since tithe is 10% of what you receive, the answer is $9.75
We can either convert to standard form first or convert to a common multiplier, kinda like a common denominator. The latter makes more sense if they wanted the result in scientific notation, but let's do it that way anyway.
a)
4.5 × 10⁴ + 3.8 × 10³ = 45 × 10³ + 3.8 × 10³ = 48.8× 10³ = 48,800
Answer: 48,800
b)
4.5 × 10⁴ - 3.8 × 10³ = 45 × 10³ - 3.8 × 10³ = 41.2× 10³ = 41,200
Answer: 41,200
c)
7.2 × 10⁻³ + 6.3 × 10⁻² = 7.2 × 10⁻³ + 63 × 10⁻³ = 70.2 × 10⁻³
= 7.02 × 10⁻² = 0.0702
Answer: 0.0702
Remark
This may be a little confusing, but because they are travelling in opposite directions, the distances add when you want to get how far apart they are.
d1 + d2 = 1541
Equation
Let the time this happens = t
d1 = 323*t
d2 = 347*t
323*t + 347*t = 1541 Combine like terms on the left.
670t = 1541 Divide by 670
t = 1541/670
t = 2.3 hours pass before the distance of 1541 miles are between the two planes. You might need the answer to be 2 hours 18 minutes.
