The diameter of a bacterium called Spiral is 0.000015 meter. What is this

Hey there!

When we put a number in scientific notation, we want the first number to be at least 1 and less than 10. There must be a digit from 1-9 in the ones place.

With the number 0.000015, we can move the decimal place 5 places to the right and we have 1.5, which is more than one and less than ten.

Because we moved the decimal place 5 places to the right, 1.5 is multiplied by 10 to the power of -5.

The 5 is the number of places the decimal is moved, and the negative sign is because we moved it to the right.

10^(-5) is the same as 0.00001, just for context.

So, 0.000015 meters in scientific notation is 1.5 x 10^(5) meters.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

7. 5 \frac{5}{8} pizza

8. B

9. 11 \frac{1}{5} inches

10. -12

11. \frac{3}{20}

12. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

7. 3 \frac{1}{2} \\ + 2 \frac{1}{8}

make them mixed fractions: \frac{7}{2} + \frac{17}{8}

get a common denominator by multiplying \frac{7}{2} by 4: \frac{28}{8} + \frac{17}{8}

add the numerators: \frac{45}{8}

simplify the fraction by dividing 45 by 8: 5 \frac{5}{8}

8. 3 x 6 = 18

5 x 6 = 30

7 x 6 = 42

9 x 6 = 54

therefore, y = 6x

9. 5:7 is similar to 8:L

divide 8 by 5: 1 \frac{3}{5}

multiply 7 by 1 \frac{3}{5}: 11 \frac{1}{5}

L = 11 \frac{1}{5} inches

10. 5 - 2x = 29

subtract 5 from each side: -2x = 24

divide each side by -2: x = -12

11. fruit = 15%

15% = 15/100

simplify by dividing by 5: \frac{3}{20}

12. the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis (the vertical one). the line crosses the y-axis at 4.

How do u rewrite 0.72 repeating as a simplified fraction?
vampirchik [111]
8/11 is the answer

I use this trick: When tryig to find repeating numbers divide by 11 or 9

When dividing by 9 the numerator will be the first number in the decimal

When dividing by 11 the numerator will be one more than the first number in the decimal
