Answer:

It takes 500 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Light travels at a rate of  3.0 × 10^{8} meters per second.

Distance of earth from the sun is 1.5 × 10^{11} meters.

We have to calculate the time it takes to reach the earth from sun

Since speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

3.0 × 10^{8} = \frac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{T}

T = \frac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^{8}}

  = 0.5 × 10^{11} × 10^{-8}

 = 0.5 × 10^{11-8}

  = 0.5 × 10^{3}

  = 500 seconds.

It takes 500 seconds for light to travel from the sun to the earth.

I am assuming you mean 3.0 *10^8 and 1.5 * 10^11.

time = distance/speed right. So, 
t = 500 s

Y=2/3x-2(-3,4)
kodGreya [7K]

y = (2/3)x + 6

because the slope stays the same because it is parallel and to get the y intercept you plug in -3 for x into the equation (2/3)x +? =4 and ?=6 so that gives you the equation y = (2/3)x + 6

Theresa buys 62 stickers. She gives 6 stickers to her little sister. Theresa then splits the remaining stickers evenly across 8
Alja [10]

Answer:

7 stickers on each page.

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with 62 stickers.

Then we give 6 to the little sister, so we subtract 6 from 62.

62-6=56

Then we divide the remaining 56 stickers evenly across 8 pages.

56/8=7

7 stickers on each page.
