Heidi has 6 pounds of tomatoes from her garden. She used 3/4 of all the tomatoes to make sauce and gave 2/3 of the rest of the t

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

She gives 16 ounces to her neighbor

Step-by-step explanation:

How much did you use to make sauce

6 * 3/4 = 18/4 =9/2 = 4.5 lbs

That leaves 6-4.5 = 1.5 lbs

She give 2/3 of this to her neighbor

1.5 * 2/3

Changing the decimal to a fraction

3/2 * 2/3 = 1

She gives 1 pound to her neighbor, but we want it in ounces

16 ounces equals 1 pound

She gives 16 ounces to her neighbor

A river discharges 4 × 106 cubic feet of water into the Pacific Ocean each second. There are 86,400 seconds in one day. To find

erik [133]

Answer:

3.456E + 14= $3.456X10^{14$

Step-by-step explanation:

The river discharges $4X10^6$ cubic feet of water into the Pacific Ocean each second.

There are 86,400 seconds in one day.

Amount of water discharges each day

$=4X10^6X86400\\=345600000000\\=3.456X10^{11$

Since this differs from what you have, I will explain the scientific notation.

3.456E + 14 simply means $3.456X10^{14$

The options are not well laid out but you can pick the appropriate option.
